14 years

By LovedByAMiracle

not very good, more of a testimony actually


In 14 years
ive had my heart ripped out and rejuvinated
my lips forget how to smile
my soul turned black

in 14 years
ive fallen in love with few
hated many
and forgotten my dreams

in 14 years
ive been fucked, made love to, then tossed aside
beaten and starved emotionally
only by myself

in 14 years
ive caused blood to flow from my arms
smiled because of it
and lived with the scars

In 14 years
drugs i know nothing about have told me what to think
what to feel
how to act

In 14 years
ive managed to wipe out my purity
my beauty
my radiant glow

in 14 years
ive aged myself way beyond my years
aching to die
loathing the very essance of life

in 14 years
ive been nothing but a waste
but you, at 14 you're still fresh and new
i'm way too old for you

    Raw. That's the only word that feels adequate when it comes to this. I'm sad I've never come across this when it was first posted.

    I didn't realize you were so young. I'm sorry to say it's not over yet, but you seem to be managing quite well. Just keep growing towards the direction you want. We've all been there, I think.

    Very strange, uncanny. Nearly stanza for stanza a poem I wrote two and a half years ago. I certainly hope it's a coincidence, if it is, it's an amazing poem and I feel I know you.
