Braided

Braided

A Poem by Emily

I am not a cliche.
To break these endless lies,
Secretly she cries.
No matter how worn-out my
"Teenage angst" is

To me it is strange
This feeling is strange
And it's not gonna change for anybody
Who cares for space travel?
The mind provides a far more interesting experience

She had something to confess to
But you don't have the time so
Look the other way
But she needs to figure out her crime first
So come in my cave
And arrest me for my mistakes
Because I'm perfect
And the world is

Forcing our darkest soul to unfold
Was there any other?
Changing shades of gray

One who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
My ever changing hopes
Oh so subtly dashed
And they make me dream your dreams
Individuality- what I crave
But not as much as a shoulder to lean on

This means nothing to me
'Cause you are nothing to me
Conflicts abound, sometimes you mean something to me
This is not that time

It burns inside of me
All this pent-up aggression
Like a kenneled dog
It has to go somewhere
Yet my hands are not fists
This feeling rises and falls like the tide
But my resignation stays
I must be my own influence
You can't- won't force your hands over mine

'Cause I was born to destroy you
And I am growing by the hour
I know my world is upside-down
But I need to know if I'm falling towards the clouds
