A Most Gruesome LifeA Poem by CJA Most Gruesome Life
Sitting in this body This young frail body I let my fingers fly on the keyboard I do not know why or how I have come to voicing my opinion like this As a young teen my voice is not heard Not now, not ever shall it be But can you not see My body is young But my mind is that of a poet A poet with knowledge and experience I am suppressed so I can not express everything I feel I fall under conformity and follow along I sit quietly waiting to steal Steal the moment, steal the eyes Let them wander towards me and widen I am the one opposing, I am the voice The voice of the forgotten and cast aside I am the one who puts on this mask Everyday and every night You see teenage angst I see the will to fight To stand firm in my beliefs And no force in this world or the next shall overpower me I stand strong for I know when I grow old It will no longer be angst, but knowledge passed This is my gruesome life, but it shall not be the last
