Creating distance between 'normality' and my existance.
They never understood at a young age naivety was partially forced out of a young girl facing their problems before they had to.
Going out of their way to increase the complexity of my life to satisfy their own imperfections.
I laugh at them now, as they struggle to accept their own realities,
As they face up to the pain that they could not foresee.

What's my age again?

The future for them is far past for me,
Creating distance between 'normality' and my existance.
They never understood at a young age naivety was partially forced out of a young girl facing their problems before they had to.
Going out of their way to increase the complexity of my life to satisfy their own imperfections.
I laugh at them now, as they struggle to accept their own realities,
As they face up to the pain that they could not foresee.
I grew up way to fast and speeded through my pain,
But sometimes I have to ask myself,
What's my age again?

As I read your poem, it really hit home to me. Everything you said, I am going through right now. I am young and I am pressured to be older than what I am, better than what I can be, and wiser than I am. But that's being a kid....

Very nice job, you have incredible talent.

Thank you for your concern, I will fix the problem shortly. Although maybe you could expand on why its crap...'It dnt rhyme, i know it dnt always have to!' That doesn't quite satify my idea of constructive criticism. If you could reply back whenever you can, I would be very grateful.

i really hope you'll ignore that badly worded comment. poetry doesn't have to rhyme, i think poetry is often more powerful without rhyming. i liked your poem and thought you expressed yourself well. (i honestly doubt the person who commented could write anything as powerful). keep writing, Kate x

It takes all kinds to make a world
some good, some best forgotten
the best keeps well, is good to sell
The rest just turns all rotten.

I've just written a poem
about me getting older
the changes that we suffer
and how we fill our "folder"

I didn't find it hard to rhyme
but that's the way I do it
I liked your poem very much
I guess I'll leave you to it
