Wishful Thinking// Poems Age 14-16

Me.

Hi.
I'm Sally.
Put here to break molds and create my identity.
Through words sometimes only I understand.

Hi.
I'm Gay.
In its very defenition, I am a happy person that loves the same gender.

Hi.
I'm Unaccepted.
A sinful abomination
I am not an artful creation
I am not a human worthy of my human rights.
Which I fight for all the time.
Attempting to avoid the label of being easily offended.

Hi.
I'm a Musician.
I create music through my emotions striving to make something to feed the emotions of others. Through heartfelt melodies that may free those captive in their own minds.

Hi.
I am unneeded.
If I don't study to be a doctor
Or a lawyer.
I will not be useful to society and should really just give up now because I can't get anywhere. And can't actually save lives because what good is music when it's listeners are already bleeding to death from their wrist veins.

Hi.
I'm a teenager.
I am in that angst filled, in between stage.
Trapped between child and adulthood .
Not to escape until my eighteenth birthday.
But that is okay because this is when I can shatter the most molds right?

Hi.
I'm uneducated.
I don't have actual opinions.
Just those of society.
But all of my thoughts are just my hormones talking anyway right? There is not an actual fight inside my mind.
I'm to young to feel anxiety
Yet to old to cry for help.

Hi .
I'm Sally.
I am a weird, queer, teenage musician.
Who is tired of these simply sickening stereotypes which keep me from being me.
But it is time that I am loud.
Drunk in my freedom.
Unneeding of anyone's approval because I am me.
I am me.
