Statements (Questions of a teenage heart)
A Poem by The_Soul
I had a lot on my mind one night and decided to arrange my thoughts in a nice little prose poem. I also thought it creative to put all my statements in the form of a question.
What's life without something to live for? Better yet, what are you to
do when your entire world is just out of reach? Tell me, how is one to
try if your efforts set you back farther than you were? How does it
help to suppress ones rights to there own decisions and expect that
they'll learn from it? Punish me with pain, and reward me with it to?
Is it not enough to support who I am or what I do because that's what makes
me happy? Do you want to see me cry? Am I supposed to sit here and let
you tell me who I'm supposed to be, or whom I'm supposed to love? Am I
not entitled to my own life? Is there a reason I should let you have
it? Should there be a reason to change who I am? What makes you think
that I'm alright with that? Do you realize the impact this puts on me?
Do you realize that it's pushing me away? Do you see me falling farther
and farther down, and that there isn't any way for you to pick me back
up? Can you not see how much pain I'm in? Every time you open your
mouth, do you think about the words you are saying? Have I really been
so bad? Do you care at all? I'll leave, and when I leave, will you see
that I won't be back for a long time? I can't live like this anymore
and I won't stand for any of this, but does it matter to you? Any of
it? Why doesn't home feel like home anymore? Can't you just leave me be?
