Songs Of A Distant Soul

One day maturity bumped me,

And I did a handshake and entered the adolescent age,

I lost my innocence and childish nature,

New me started thinking about the future.

The body started changing fast as lights,

Parents were stressed about my short height,

I couldn't deceide if I'm a child or a mature.

Then I realised now I am a teen,

Being perfect became my dream,

Even while knowing it's not easy as it seems.

Wishing to make parents feel proud,

Tried to stand out of the messy crowd,

Parents went far, friends came close.

Body shame and social anxiety engulfed me,

My caged soul desiring to be free,

Hoping that day will come soon,

Again, it's now fifth winter.

Will this time ever pass,

I want to lay down on the grass,

I think,

Do they even think I'm worth?

To be worthy I changed myself,

In this process, I waved to ask for any help,

Replaced old me by the new self,

In this war, lost myself.

My father taught me a motto,

To never ever give up no matter what,

I just forgot I am a lion club,

My teenage is a confusing mess,

But now I don't need to be stressed,

Cause of ninety nine problems,

There is only one solution,

Write your heart out,

And let you blood colour the page you are writing in with fully red,

Nobody will do it for you,

You have to do it yourself,

And you have to learn it yourself,

Writing won't hurt you,

It will instead heal your scars,

And at the last,

That's my poetry's conclusion.
