BraidedA 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 © 2012 EmilyAuthor's Note
