New Life

I wrote this shortly before I entered high school; I was leaving public school and starting private school, so I wrote a poem about some of the emotions I was experiencing.

New Life 

 

Forgotten by one world,
Welcomed into the new,
Why must this happen?
How can this be true?
How can a world,
A world I've known for so long
Just leave me,
No better than a week-old newspaper?
Why must I ponder on how I could be left behind?
It shouldn't have happened in the first place.
But then there is the new place,
A place for wondering,
A new clean slate,
Dreams have picked me up,
Helped me find my new self
And have led me to a place of contentment,
For I have yet to discover the true me,
But am, if anything, one step closer.
One step away from the years of invisability.
One step away from the years of unfortunate encounters.
Though it feels like much more than that in my mind.
But yet, that is all that matters.
Your happiness, your peace, your life.

This might be my favorite piece yet, and I am stunned to see it was 2009. I cannot imagine what age you must have been when you wrote this is, but it's really impressive! I enjoyed the flow, and it's just really impressive that you wrote this at what I assume to be such a young age.

Only grammar correction I would make would be to change to "invisibility", but I am not taking off any points for that. I am not sure why they even have a ranking system on here, poetry is so subjective, and this is a truly well written from my perspective. Thank you for sharing! : )
