Array ( [sid] => 73550 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Only Fifteen [time] => 2004-11-29 08:05:51 [hometext] => Feelings will never be the same, no matter how hard you try to mend them [bodytext] => Only fifteen

Daily walks down the halls,
of this school so empty.
Lonely feelings emerge,
but how can you feel so lonely, with over 500 people surrounding?
Those feelings raise up to the surface,
no matter how hard you try to hide them,
they’ll just never leave.

People walk past,
as they look and they laugh.
They point and whisper to one another,
what they say, now becomes a cover,
for all the wrongs among their lives.

You look towards them,
shadows of your life,
you run in the opposite direction
hoping they won’t catch up.
You look back to see if they’re still there,
they aren’t.
Finally at last, alone,
but how can you be alone with all of those people?

Those people surrounding you,
picking out every detail about you,
making you seem like a monster.
You aren’t the monster,
they are.
Devouring you every hope, your every dream,
making you feel like there’s nothing real, only fake.
But what are you to say,
you’re only 15. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 21 [informant] => deathly_rose [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

I rememeber the days of tormented youth, Im a loner, then and now, though others seem to think it a disease and made it their buisness to ram the point home...something gave.
Beautifully written, showing life in one of its many guises.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
