If I were to write a story

Would it be what you want?

Would you react the way I want?

'Cause I can sit down and tell you stories

Many many stories

But I'm so inexperienced

I've never had a boyfriend or girlfriend

I've never hugged any guy besides my dad

I have no love experience

Barely any friend experience

And I'm young with barely any life experience

Yet I can sit here and write poems

But I am so confined on how adults view children and teens

I'm so confined on the number that dictates how you are supposed to act

That I question whether or not what I say is credible enough

It's just a phase

While many may deny I don't see the point

I know it's a phase

That doesn't dictate how long this phase will last

I know it's a phase but right here and right now

I'm going through that phase

I'm not, not going through this phase

I know what's happening and your words only reconfirm it

I like to think that I am self aware

But if you were to ask me about myself I'd tell you that the stranger on the street knows more about me then I ever will

I like to say that I have a strong grip on what's going on around me

But I get so confused and question do I really?

I sat in math class

We're doing some of the simplest equations ever

The basics

Yet nobody in the entire room understood what was going on

We were so confused

The teacher constantly told us that it was simple

So so simple

Yet none of us could grasp it

We didn't understand that after all of the abstract math and algebra

That something could be so simple

We started with the hard stuff and ended with the easy stuff

But that made the hard stuff easy

The simple stuff was hard

You can't just spin us through this wheel and it's such a small wheel

This wheel is built to fit only your body and that's it

Then you put all of these obstacles in front of us and expect us to dodge these obstacles

As if there's room to dodge it

Or do you want us to dodge it?

Then at the very end of it all you stop giving us this stuff

You hand on not tanks and knives

But fluffy feathers and peaceful scenes

And it's nice at first

Then it comes crashing down on you all at once

Why is this so simple?

There has to be a catch

There cannot be something so simple and peaceful there has to be a obstacle somewhere

It cannot be this empty

This is not simple and it is long

I shall end with a few sentences

If I were to write a story

Would it be believable?

Would you understand?

I'm not, but I am?Where stories live. Discover now
