@peachkitty This is such a great idea! Poetry can be an awesome outlet for what people think, myself included. It can take guts to share poetry! My piece is called "A Teenage Figurine", written when I was super stressed about school! Woo!
With my back to the window,
My face to the screen
I sit here and think
I am but a teen
But why do I feel so burdened with life?
Why do I feel I need a cane to lean?
My hair turning grey
A white, shimmery sheen
I have days of homework to do,
I am not a machine
I wake up at night with thoughts of economy
Money flutters in a swarm of green
I just want to run away
And become my own queen
But could I actually do it?
I dont think I have the adventurous gene
So instead, Ill sit here
And write poems obscene
Instead, Ill sit here
As still as a figurine.
