hmm, wrote this when i was feeling depressed- not too great in my opinion, and as goes meaning i was just getting annoyed at myself for being depressed gennerally! thought i would post as i havent written many poems for a little while now

 

 

 

I see darkness only, yet myself i scorn

as darkess i know is nought but shade

and shadow is none without light to fade

to be void as from illusion i am torn

 

myself would not forgive, as though i feel

that i have lost and hope has gone

that this is none and i'll go on

yet into me does empty steal

 

it is pathetic to look to dark for resemblance

though it is a need of our soul for such

the good without bad cannot be much

and so we lie for our independance

----------------------------------

 

heres another poem i have written very recentley- its the first time ive allowed myself to write openley about love(?) and general teenage angst stuff! mainly about how i always end up friendly with people unlike me in the way they think though i guess

 

your darkness i would hope to pale

but if i can't do that

i'd follow you down broken trail

and never would look back

 

i'd leave the happy place i know

it could feel quite a sin

but worth it so that i could show

my thoughts would let you in

 

your way can sometimes drag me down

but i would go to set you free

but if you could only have known

others must see you for you to be

Those poems are just lovely...

 

As Shy said, growing up can be a miserable time quite often - what with the clashes with parents, mixed emotions and feelings, and, well, rebellion!! And as he said, when you come out of it you are better off, you learn a lot from your experiences and experiments..

 

Things will improve, just work hard and you will reap the rewards.
