Everlasting Adulthood
By: Cherishable_Baybee

Lost with myself because I don’t know who I am anymore
The space between my soul and me has grown apart
It also feels like I have a duo personality
Like yin and yang

Frightened at myself
Of what I become
And what I plan to do
Unable to undo what i've done

I’ve gone down a path that no one can get me out of
A path where only lays darkness and mystery
A sense of belonging has forsaken me
For I not myself be no longer the person I once was

Which was that little innocent child
That was new to the world
Now I look within myself
The depths of my soul is limitless

I saw what only everyone else saw
A monster of some sort
A child consumed with hatred and rage
A hunger for revenge misused as justice
Against all those whom did me wrong?

Shall I pretend to have a lingering for life?
Or shall I hide behind the devilish simile?
I’m just torn into between the two

Years and years you been praying for me
Sitting there quietly
Watching me over the years transform myself
Into this tyrant this evil fiend

Now you look at me like your looking at the devil himself
The pain expressed in your face told it all
You saw me as your little baby girl
A sweet innocence

But once you looked within my soul
You saw a fierce killer
My mother didn’t realize until now
That her little sweet girl had died and grown up
And as a dark mysterious woman she revived

WOW!!! This is amazing!  I think that commas could be used a little bit more, maybe to punctuate the pauses that are implied, but I was really blown away!  Awesome job!

Dance like nobody's watching,
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening,
and Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

I like this poem a lot!

Especially the part about yin and yang… I felt like a couple times you could have rephrased a sentence to say the same thing, but make it easier for the reader to understand, because sometimes it’s hard to decipher what you are saying, but that could just be me…

My favorite part in the whole poem is sooo hard to pick! But I’d have to say that it was this,

I saw what only everyone else saw
A monster of some sort
A child consumed with hatred and rage
A hunger for revenge misused as justice
Against all those whom did me wrong?


I really liked that part, I don’t understand the question mark at the ending but I did like the imagery this brought into my mind when I read it…

Great poem, and once again I can’t wait to see more by you!

Great write. I liked this very much. You showed a lot of emotion. I really enjoyed this.. especially the last couple of lines.

~heather~

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.
Want nothing & you will have everything.
