Constellations Of The Mind

i am a teenager

i am a teenager

i am lonely

i am in danger

and i wonder

does every teenager feel this way

torn asunder 

do we all lye alone

in wait for something divine

our souls decaying with our bones

do we all desire something lovely

or is it only the ones driven by aspiration

surely we all yearn to be thought lucky

the loneliest people

are those with sublime aspirations

because the world wants to tear away their steeple

because it does not understand

if only people could comprehend

that killing one another's flames

does not well make a man

and maybe i'm just another teen

pining for a future i shall not come to meet

and maybe my lonely aspirations will only leave me to scream

alone

unheard

mocked

unseen

yet here i am

caught in the middle of the scene

i am a teenager

i am lonely

and the world is my danger

a dagger

that cuts me open

and leaves me hollow
