I wrote this poem today, its called What they say
They
say when you grow up, you will understand
They say when you grow up, you will go through times where you will be
shattered into fragments
They say when you grow up, you will be out of your wonderland
They say when you grow up, you will need to learn your balance
They say when you grow up, you
will find the answers to your questions
They say no one is perfect, yet they are the ones who expect
perfection
They say no one is alone, yet you still feel lonely
They say they are with you on your mission, yet they leave you during tension
They say that you should be yourself, yet they find flaws in your personality
They say you should listen to others, yet they don’t listen to you
They say that you should be yourself, yet when you do there is no acceptance
They say that you will never be able to do it, yet when you do, they say they
always knew you could
They say that you should do you, yet there are judgers all around you, making
you wonder if you are in court. Having with conflict yourself and others, where
forgiveness and happiness is out of reach, in your surrounding is repentance
They say life is a gift, yet you wonder how to return this gift
They say that you have a pencil for your life, you can draw your goals and your
purpose, but you end up not coming up anything, erasing that little hope
They say that there are people always there, yet they are islands which drift
They say that we are all running on the same path, yet it feels like you are in
the wrong race
They say they care about what you feel, yet you end up suppressing your
emotions, putting a smile on like it is makeup
Feeling vulnerable like walking on a tightrope
Feeling like there is no hope of getting out of the cage of limitations
Feeling like that there is no control on your emotions like there is someone
else with the remote control, changing the channels on their desire
Feeling like there is no future
Feeling like there is no one that likes the real you, except the person you
pretend to be
Feeling like you are worthless with no purpose
Feeling like the things you thought was stable, crashes
As you grow up, you still don’t understand
As you grow up, you feel as though you are always shattered into fragments
As you grow up, you miss the days of being in that wonderland, you miss the
feeling of being loved
As you grow up, you lose your balance
As you grow up, you find more questions than answers
