Tainted Love
Location
Passion.
Sitting in my room,
walking in the school hall,
or standing outside.
Everywhere and anywhere are prime locations
fro these feelings we aren't supposed to have.
We are too young,
too inexperienced,
too immature for these
emotions to swirl
in our teenage bodies.
But still we feel them.
Even as the older and younger generations
deny their existance
and scourn those acknowledged
with such a tainted soul,
we are here
and becuase of their underestimation of us
we turn to idiotic actions
and self-hatred.
Lust.
Such words are lost
in our heated breath
as we search and yearn
for the acceptance
that we are not demons
for acting on our urges.
Not deliquents ruining our lives
or sluts and players
seen as social suicide.
Disgusted and ignored
are our own feelings we cannot control.
Does anyone have an upper hand on them?
I admit I don't.
Erotic.
Tired of hating myself
for the warmth that spread
fire through my body,
of the rapid movements
brushing to paint completion on my frame
without disgust or shame.
My muscles twitch,
toes curling,
my mouth opens in a silent scream.
Euphoria.
Finally a moment
of relaxation,
of self-love and acceptance
as the fire turns to
a candle glow
in the heart of my soul.
How can something that feels
so purely right,
put out such a tainted image?
