All of the teen-angst poetry has made me thinking about my teen angst poetry…so I am sharing something from my archives.

My dear friend,
Who shall remain nameless.
I owe you recognition
For I am blameless.

It’s because of you;
Your harsh words and ways
Still ring in my ears
Even to this day.

I understand now
Why you did what you did.
I understand now,
But did not as a kid.

I always believed
The things you said to me,
You never knew
How believable you could be.

It is because of you
That I am where I am.
It is because of you
That I live this sham.

I pleaded guilty
But none listened to me.
They put me here
As if I’d change my plea.

You think that you
No longer have to hear
My whispers of death
You are wrong my dear.

For I am coming
Coming to join your shell.
I shall be there
To see you in HELL.

-December, 1989.

Maybe not teen-angst, but written when I was a teen.  

< !signature-->

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
           -Enigma

Very teenish.  I can sense the same uncertain anger that still permeates my being.   Perhaps we should all have a reunion of the unbound…in hell I mean.

See you there!

Isis - Yes, well...I think this is one of the few rhyming poems that I wrote WAY back then...sometimes its fun to revisit those "bewildering" times. Thank you.

Deranger - Being a teen is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do...I hope my own kids skip the age of fifteen. I shudder at the thought. By the way, I enjoy reading the poems written by the "younger" crowd, because I can usually relate.   Thanks for reading...
