I feel like
the shadow of my shadow,
yet to be noticed in the light.
I reflect darkness,
the night
is my comfort, my twin,
my insecurity, my sin
it disguises,
when I'm in the security
of sin.

When I walk or talk
my I eyes feel the need
to admire my shoes so dearly.
And clearly,
my head is foggy with thoughts
that scare me--
if they were a reality.

I don't like the feeling of being
a scentless flower
for it will lead to the blooming of
bitter fruit
that feeds my pain in abundance
until my heart
can not stomach this agony any longer.

When life hands me lemons
I show the soars on my tongue
from sucking on aloes,
so that when I am led to the gallows,
the last breath I take might be tasteful
aside from the empty air I breathe that
stifles my lungs hollow.

Do not underestimate me,
for when we square off
the pointy edges
can not be rounded off
to a positive outcome.

I am still taken advantage of,
which should be a thing of the past
but it is presented
to me as the blueprint for my future.
I refuse to let those sour limestones
be the building blocks of my adulthood.
I'm tired,
and those same walls that trapped me in
a bashful alley will make me
the cornerstone.

hi and welcome

I know you are new so I am just going to close this thread, and ask that you please read the guidelines. You posted this in open and in teen. That is considered a double post and is not allowed unless you post it in Critical Analysis then in a open forum, such as teen OR open. Not both. The only other time you can do that is if it is a repost from a forum that is now closed and is an archived forum.
Thank you for your understanding
