My Shitty Teen Angst Poetry

Little Girl

Back when I was a little girl

I used to look at the world

With innocent eyes

Those big, brown, ignorant eyes

Saw only friends and kind strangers

Never knew any fears, any dangers

But the naive delusion didn't last

It faltered slowly as the years passed

And as I grew, as I saw the darkness

As that perfect world was unveiled as heartless

I started to fear flying blindly anymore

And plummeted into the darkness, fell to its core

Depression, anxiety, everything set in quicker

Life lost most meaning, the single ember of my life's light began to flicker

Eventually it went completely out, it didn't take very long

Misery came everyday with the same discouraging song

And so went on the life of that little girl who was so withdrawn

Holding the truth of the word inside her, her mind far too gone
