Teenage Tantrums

the teenage years are never over

Teenage Tantrums


a frozen house, embezzled love
emptiness meanders with my every thud
the precipice of grief soars up high
i feign my mirth but after which i sigh

the hamlet of sorrow, a purse of light
people of poverty, interlope in fights
depleting sense from savage wounds
bureaucratic policies set all to doom

in school of villains, scoundrels of faith
hopeless youth in shuffling gait
professors and apprentice in wars collide
cognizance shattered, hearts set aside

my affair just ended, said his love ebbed away
in deep blue liaison, lovers march and sway
but fortune fades quickly, credence do shake
romances fall suddenly and hearts just break

they say life is a journey
and love is a choice
all is a decision but we're deprived of one voice
I'm getting tired of living and I'm forgetting how to love
once a child i was happy
now all i do is sob.

Yes indeed, life was much simpler then, what to wear, who was going to be at the dance, did she notice me...those years are long in the past, but living still somewhere within me as I refuse to grow up. Very nicely done.

"once a child i was happy, now all i do is sob" if only our sob would make all the pains and frustrations go away just like when we were still kids...
Very strongly worded observations you have in here and speak so well of the reality.
