shhhh

2/18/18 I don't care for this one all that much, feels a little too angsty.

I’ll keep my mouth shut for once
I won’t say it, I can’t say it
Not without breaking countless promises I’ve made myself over the years
So I’ll pretend the words aren’t ricocheting through my head endlessly
Waiting for my will to weaken, for a chance to escape my lips and announce it to the world
I know this shaky foundation of teenage hormones and mutual desperation
Won’t hold much longer
I can already feel it beginning
To crumble beneath our feet
With each step we take towards each other
The rift grows, pushing us even further away
I’m reaching and reaching for you but
My arms are short and yours
Haven’t even left your sides

This was honest, it felt like a release of emotion, a good vent. It's a connection that sparks hints of a complicated tirade of what ifs and why nots. it's a division that widens the will to try. I salute the courage.

Thank you! I appreciate the review. I'm glad you found something deeper in it, that's always what I'm hoping for.

Angst is good it makes things real. This really places the emotional state very well and the feelings that we can all identify with. I think its much better than you think. Great job!

Thank you for the input! I've never really considered the pros of letting my teen angst influence my writing before. It's good to see it from a different P.O.V. :)

If the felling is real, the writing is real, and when you are a teen, the experiences that you have so far are what you can write about the best. Lean on them and fire up that keyboard and just let it fly.

I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you! :)
