Teen Terror

by Hollow Emotion   Sep 4, 2009


I look around
and what do I see?
Every things changing
except for me.

Friends starting families
or going on to school,
my life remains the same
in this emotional pool.

Third grade torture
remains by my side,
the cruelty of some kids
are feelings I tend to hide.

Things got worse
as the years went on,
kids turned to teenagers
school years seemed too long.

I thought middle school would be different
new place, new role,
but something else happened
that has never left my soul.

It was a medical condition
that I couldn't control,
no one understood
they continued torturing my soul.

Till this day
I cannot speak,
the cruelty of some teens
was at the maximum peak.

High school started,
four years left to go!
Of course the surrounding teens
made the years go by slow.

Days went on
nothing really changed,
the stuck up teens
were never out of range.

Some days were better
than others that have passed,
I got a high school love
I thought we would last.

He was always on my mind
my feelings were always about him,
I guess you could say
I put my heart out on a limb.

A year of dating
it came to an end,
I couldn't help but feel
the whole thing was pretend.

The last year of high school
it's almost over, HURRAY!
I thought by leaving high school
the torture would go away.

Most of my life
the memories I've had
are always from school years,
the memories are always bad.

So pick up the yearbook,
pick up the knife,
please cut these years
from my life.

I just want to forget
the things that bring me down,
so for once
happiness is all I've ever found.

    A great piece that kept my attention throughout the entire poem! Just one little thing i'd like to mention though, your rhyme with the word "soul" being used somewhere near the middle of the poem kind of threw off my flow, perhaps because I just saw the same word being used a stanza before, but other then that, a great piece once again!

    5/5

    keep it up my friend!

    Hope your life was not as the poem very harrowing, full of self pity and sadness. I would never have settled for the kid abuse I would have got on with it as you seemed to do and played life one day at a time gathering strength from the good and pushing aside the bad.
    See you got to me with this poem and we all have bad days but bad years how sad. A vividly expressive poem that drew me along and won me over on your side, worth a 5/5 for it contents your sadness. Ray S
