Bewildered Teenager


This feeling of depression, sadness, sorrow . . .

Will this be the oppression of tomorrow?

Can I really, truly, be myself?

Especially when I'm in this house?

 

I've barely hit sixteen and I feel like I've fallen in between . . .

The squeeze, the struggle.

To acheive that smuggle?

 

To hide these feelings is more than i can truly bear.

But, this wear and tear is just the beginnig . . .

I can make it, I will survive!

Someday, hopefully, I can be what I've strived . . .
