I no longer have a glimmer in my eyes
When I was young

The girl who used to scream for others pains is shut out
She fights to be free, to make me suffer for something I don’t feel nor control

we are the future.
in the halls, we lean against the bulletin boards
and whisper of the latest news, last night's breaking, articles snagged

Teenhood
There should be a word
For ages thirteen through seventeen.
There should be a word
Like childhood or adulthood

proudly displaying me to a world where
mediocrity was rejected &
