at age thirteen i found myself
relaxed into my skin
at age thirteen i found myself
a whole new layer within
balanced on the tight-rope
balanced on the scales
balanced were the dreams i dreamt
upon a bed of nails
thirteen i started writing 'Me' -
what i'd been waiting for -
a whole new way to know myself
a whole world to explore
friday 13ths come and gone
best friend prays that they aren't long
...thirteen was always lucky for me
superstition-and-pillow-free
thirteen puzzle pieces bloom
a glowing picture in the gloom
bright new colours splash around
on a high, no longer down
woven in a thinning loop
that i'm out of again
i just don't know where to begin
i need
thirteen
to mend
so many split ends in three years time
i need ten haircuts to know my mind
i've got to start over with my brain
i'm at a loss
but where to gain?

| I trully agree with the other person u do seem older that just means your very mature. You are in deed good with words. I loved reading your poem. It was very interesting and it held so much meaning, yet powerful words from such a young person. Keep up the good work. Excellent piece of writing. |
