Thoughts of a Teenager
And so, here I sit,
Almost alone except for the other two people here.
Are they as lonesome as I?
Lost in a world of confusion
I can't seem to find my way out.
There are so many things that could be said,
But where are the words?
When will I know my life is complete?
When will I find that special someone?
"Never Quit..." the poster says.
Never quit what?
Searching? Hoping? Dreaming?
Trying to find my place in the sun?
This isn't something I can handle.
This isn't something I have control of.
What am I trying to accomplish?
The words that come out of my mouth do not make sense.
A mess of confusion and discomfort fills the air.
I feel so... so...
How do I feel?
Ask me that and I feel fine,
While inside I might me screaming or laughing or crying.
But that's OK, it will pass, and soon... soon...
Soon I will be me.
Back into my fairytale land,
On top of the world,
On top of everything that matters.
The world revolves around me.
And then... POOF! It's gone.
