Please Be RealA Poem by AJadeLionThoughts before prom last year. I'm trying writing again, we'll see how this goes.Prom. Tonight. Please be real I am almost grown Yet I feel like a child Not because I never had sex Or did drugs Or even learned to drive Just more and more of the time I feel hollow Safe and Protected But empty No substance to prove years For its all been corroded away By an all encompassing depression Trying to turn me Into a cold shell of what Used to be So I try to compensate Using things Material things Shallowly anchoring myself To this reality Mimicking living Using vanity Pretty Makeup Glitzy Dresses High heels in a ballroom So I can simulate- No, so I can really feel again I am almost grown Please be real
