Orange (7) : a teenager's sonnet

733 57 43
                                    


Lost in the maze of time,
Buried under the debris of worry,
Waiting for hope's sunshine
to shine a little on me.

Burnt by the fire of jealousy,
Searching for life's right track,
Even though hate's load is heavy,
I can't get it off my back.

Entering the castle of doubt,
Drowning in the sea of guilt,
Wanting to find a way out,
But my destiny hasn't yet been built.

But somewhere, somehow, I'll survive.
And be the reason for a millions pride.

We were studying Shakespeare's sonnet in freshman class and I wrote it then, I remember.
Most of the rhyming poetry you read on here was written about two years ago.
This has the exact scheme of the regular Shakespeare sonnet.
