Untitled Confusion

A Poem by Cc

Young teenager being haunted by his own mind

He's been sitting here for ages
Trying to control his rages
He went sinning on his mind
Happiness he thought he'd find

He tried to be strong
But he knew he was everything you call wrong
Deep down he was just a troubled kid
Only escape being vodka and weed

In between the lines he'd tried to read
But no words could have described his creed
He thoughts not accepted by society
His intelligence taken for insanity

He tried to be normal at any cost
But trying too hard had left him confused and lost
Deep down he was just a depressed child
Whose heart had been stopped from going wild

He lost his soul day by day
Everything about him was now left grey
His thoughts, his smoke, his dreams
Restless voices filling his head with screams

He tried so hard to hang on and fight
But that was difficult as he could not tell wrong from right
Deep down he never wanted to be a mischievous boy
But he couldn't help but treat society as a toy

Hatred he started to reflect
His loved ones; he started to neglect
He spat words he would later on regret
He refused the world and began to reject

He tried to be holy
But that was just another deplorable story
Deep down he was just a clashed being
Who's problems faded away by inhaling

He was misunderstood
Though his intentions were good
If only he had been freed and let to fly
He would not have to always stay high.

Addiction is a beast that is hard to kill. I think this is a very honest poem. It is filled with emotions; loss, hope, helplessness, hopelessness. It feels like you are falling into a deep dark chasm as you read. Slowly line by line, stanza by stanza, it drags you down into its depths, and then gives you the lie: If only you had... Nice work, I can't wait to see what you write next. =)
