The battle
When I was younger
Not yet a teenager
I was
Unprepared and fragile
I had no armor
No ammunition
And yet I was put into
A battle
Me against
Every single person

Longing to be younger
Catching fireflies
In my palms
Catching snowflakes
On my tongue
Throwing wishes
To the sky
On the wings
Of dandelions
Dreaming
With my head
In the clouds
Begging to stay

You won't, You can't
"What do you want to do when you grow up"
"I want to change the world"
"Ok but what are you going to do?"
"Change the world"
"You can't"
"I can"
"You won't"
"I will"

Two Homes, No Sanctuary
Two doors, both locked, neither mine.
Two names, one I gave up.
Two voices, both demanding I choose.
A home is a shelter. A home is a question. -
Slipping Through My Fingers
There’s this song,
Slipping Through My Fingers.
By ABBA. From Mamma Mia!
That's how I see it.
Our rights.
“I try to capture every minute.”

The Girl Inside
It’s only been a few days and sadness feels so far away
This feeling, it isn’t salvation
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

'this'
Resist.
Intransitive verb: to exert force in opposition
-
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
in the moments before leaving for school. lots of adults
think we are too young to understand

Teenhood
There should be a word
For ages thirteen through seventeen.
There should be a word
Like childhood or adulthood
That describes
Being a teenager.
Adolescence is one, yes
But it doesn't fit.
