the true teenage experience
lights say go but signs say no
the fluorescent light flickers
morbid invincibility
indomitable fatality
laughing and crying
at the same time
we scream into the dark
together
moonlight spills into the room and
we confess our sins
we can’t remember who we will be
and we can’t see who we were
but we know who we are
tonight is all that matters
This poem is about:
Me
My community
Our world
