| I'm My Own Thief of Time | ||||||||
| (A Poem About Myself) | ||||||||
| I've got emotional scars. Yes you've heard correctly. A normal 15 year old is corrupted. ...But aren't we all? My eyes are dark and deep, but they shine brightly sometimes. They have more of an understanding now, since I have shed my cocoon and entered the mind and body of this 15 year old. Whether that's good or bad, I'm not sure yet. Remember to ask me in a few years. Other than my dark nature and my writing addiction, I'm like any other. I read the fashion magazines, the horror books, the comics. I love rock music (especially KoRn and OLP), and the off-key singing of children. I'm in love with Heavenly Hash ice cream, and lemonade. And if I wasn't in school, I'd be running the cotton candy machine at the fair (for I love that too). I've got a name tattooed into my heart, although I know I shouldn't. It'll only come back and haunt me, but it's not something one can choose. If you know what I mean. I feel safe in my flesh, noone can bug me that way. I'm my own imaginary friend. I'm my own thief of time. I believe that age is only a number, and that my number's a fraud, For how could one be 15 in body, and 100 in mind? I think that we've all been brainwashed to ignore the simple things in life. A beautiful sunset. A face full of pride. The smell of fresh baked bread. A child's giggle. A hug. Selfishness and jealousy are my pet peeves, although I admit I've experienced both. I think the best when I'm asleep, and when I'm all alone. I love the dark. I'm a dreamer...... My favourite place in the world is in my basement. Cool and sullen, empty and alone. I'm left with only my imagination. I have an Angel on one shoulder, and a Devil on the other; I continue on my merry way. Don't question my (in)sanity : it's all I have left. |
