Once upon a time there was a puzzle, a picture perfect puzzle, that was me.
But now pieces are falling out of, instead of into, place
Slipping and sliding and just out of reach
Until those picture perfect pieces fall into darkness
Leaving an empty space
Inside of my mind
How much time do you need to finish your writing? Asks my teacher
A lifetime I say.
For how can I ever write down all the words in my head, dying to come out
I’m not old enough to vote
I'm not old enough to drive
I’m not old enough to drink
I’m not even old enough to go to the bathroom without asking permission??
No matter how much I hate you
And curse at your name
I still hold the fear that
I am to blame
Even if everyone believed me
And cast you away
