Maturity

Topic: EmotionalPoetry

my eyes burn when you speak to me
my heart falls into pieces when you look away
my mind goes in circles
why do you have to push and drag me in your footsteps?
i am a grown person, a humanbeing
i can make my own choices
if my choices break, then its my fault, not yours
treat me like a different person
please dont treat me like im 10 anymore

what am i to think when you look at me and dont say a word?
are you proud of me, or do u degrade me?
my time is comming, are you ever going to let me go?
you cant control my feelings for things and people,
cause im not like you, im my own person, i have my own personality
a personality that someone likes, but why cant you accept that?

its like you dont want me to grow up to be someone
you just want me to look in the mirror and see yourselves, instead of me
im not going to reach your goals, i want to strive for my goals
the goals that make me live and feel happy for

i have way surpassed my age of maturity by many years
and what i feel is real, whether its a happy, sad, or even love feeling... its always been real
what did i do to deserve this treatment?
is it because im the runt, the last one born, the baby?
cause if it is, it feels like slavery, i dont get to be myself, i dont get privacy
if i try to express myself towards you, you think that im "weird" and then walk away
its like you dont accept my way of life, the path that i choose, and the styles that i like

to me, it seems that you still need to mature more than i do, i know whats right and wrong
so if you think i need to mature more, just look in the mirror into the eyes that stare back at you..
and say it again

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
