Array ( [sid] => 75006 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Youth.. [time] => 2004-12-09 05:15:02 [hometext] => A piece about teenagers..I wrote this in class while surrounded by people I really don't have the patience for..ARGH.. [bodytext] => What's wrong with me?
How's my hair?
Am I too fat?
I DON'T CARE!

Does he still like me?
Is she my friend?
Why do you hate me?
WHEN WILL THIS END?

Is my eyeliner smudged?
Heard about the fight?
Do you have some lipgloss?
THIS ISN'T RIGHT!

Stereotypes,
Boys and girls,
Depression and dramas
In a teenagers world

Suicide threats
Some true, some not
Drinking and parties
Who knows when it stops?

Acceptable ignorance
Innocent fun
You feel so grown up
But your life has just begun

Don't ignore your youth
Don't turn out like me
With a space inside me empty
Where my youth should be

Don't grow up too fast
To make yourself look 'cool'
Just be who you are
Not everyones fool

I found, in my life, in my journey to the desert to the mountains to the warm, rainy beaches of the gulf coast( and am still learning) is that no one really wants to listen. People are happy in their shallow, empty lives. They don't know what fulfillment is. They look and say you are the empty one. And maybe their right, maybe knowing, or seeing what is really there, puts a hole in us that can't be filled; by anything. I've ripped a hole in my throat teaching the so called falsities that i see. I've cried for people I don't even know. The best way to make them understand, is to accept what they are. accept their infinite delusion, because for all it's worth, you can't change it. Nice words, keep thinking. Always, abraham ^_^
