I just like this one, regardless of the fact that it just screams "I'M OBVIOUSLY A TEEN!" Sorry and all...you just have to suffer. >; P

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

"void"

Time enters a void
My mind awakens
The beat of my heart stops
I am in another world

This emotional world
I now reside in
I smile and cry freely here
Meeting strangers I¡¦ve always known

Colours that have never existed
Swirl about the cities
Violence tears at one¡¦s soul
But happiness is the worst death

Small and quiet, this world
Large and loud, always and never
I live in a world of opposites
But they are together without pause

Forever happy here, I cry
My tears are of sadness and joy
I am free in this place
For once I can be myself without worry

I open my eyes slowly
The screeching of my alarm
Another world lost for an eternity
Only to be visited again

If time and space are curved, where do all of the straight people come from?
Let's get one thing straight: I'm not!

Cool. I have some friends who are like that... You know, the ones who dye their hair green and pierce every place they can... And some they can't. I used to not be a torrent of emotions that I didn't understand. Now I understand them. Anyways, back on topic(I get off topic a lot), that wasn't something I had to "suffer through".

Haha, this is pretty good for "teen angst".  Or maybe my standards are just too dang low...

Anyhow, compared to other teen compositions I'd say this is pretty good.  Sorry, but I've seen some rather trashy teen stuff[hope I'm not offending anyone.  I won't mention any names, Fractal007!]

Anyway, your description of sleep is pretty good.  Also, u don't have to get out of teenage years to write good poetry.

I do not see this as teen angst...I see it rather as a poem with a lot of thoughts put in one, and a very good poem at that...thanks for sharing, and i feel like that sometimes too...Keep shining!

Ha! I recognize your signature. Emily Dickinson! I really like her stuff.
Thanks for the kind words. Good to know I'm not the only one!
