living


one
new breath
a sign; life
shocking to see
after such a "fail"
or so society 
would like you and I to think
why do we follow such judgments
I don't do such, I rebel
I try to speak the truth
but even that's hard
"heed the leader"
I just can't
crying
"shame"

I'm 20, but many tell me I have an old soul. I go through a lot of crap all the time about what I do and who I am so my stories and poems are the only places I can be free even if they mention my troubles it is a way to breathe, though the inspiration seems to fade every time
