I used to write poetry
Things that were deep inside
Of me, feelings and emotions
But no one wants to see those things

Poetry was published but
No one ever read it
So it was hidden deep down
My soul contains this fire
This passion to write it all down
But i wont

I contain it because
They are my emotions
And my words
No one wants to hear them
No one wants to read them

They say i must glorify the thoughts
I dont struggle with those demons
People just dont see through
My fake smile and happy words
The seek out my wisdom
Yet they dont understand how i got it

The battles I have faced
brought me that wisdom
Yet the battles seem unreal
Not at this age did you do that
Age is yet another disqualification
But it is just a number to me

The story i hold must be great
I refuse to share it again
They judge you
