Lifeblood drains to barren paper
Soul pours out through a poised pen
Pleading to be more than a vapor
I confine my heart and thoughts again
With scrambled imaginings I contend
The story of my imagined travels
Will I still be forgotten at the end?
When life’s final thread unravels?

These words, half-mine yet half immortal
Wander aimlessly across my page
Are they doomed to become full mortal?
Deep sadness comes, though never rage
My plea to you is; read and enjoy
Give dignity to the lonely words of a boy

I am just beginning to discover your poetry, Freely, and I like it. Keep them coming and the others will notice too. When I first came onto the site it took a while.
You write with a wonderful maturity for one so young.

Thanks so much for your kind and supporting words
I hope you didn't take this poem in the potentially pettish way i realized some people could. I'm sort of just working through concepts and recognizing how far out on a limb people go by expressing themselves publicly.
I shall have to read some of your poems
Thanks again for the encouragement!
Ben
