Age

njcreedite · 01-22-2004, 10:22 PM

Inside I'm really 22
so full of dreams, promise
and life.

I wear my hair the way I
want and pierce
whatever I like.

I rock to music with
such force it drives
me through the night.

Then the mirror shows
me what is real
what I'm really like.

Age is just a state
of mind and I'll fight
it with all my might.

I like that. Your poetry is very real, not flowery with hints at what you really mean like mine. That's something I very much appreciate. Keep it up!

Teri and I were talking about this poem. She found it positive, as if it was saying "Screw You" to everyone.
I found that pretty cool and can now see how she saw it this way. It wasn't what I was thinking at the time. When I wrote it, I was feeling more like.... bittersweet. What I see in the mirror isn't at all how I feel, but I'm expected to act more like I look and less like I feel. Wrote another about that...but haven't posted it. Didn't like the way it came out.
Anyways...I find it interesting how we all read the samethings and come away with different takes.

Thanks Kris. Happy you guys like it, but the more I read it the less
I like it. Not a good one, in my opinion.
