So sad
An eternity of nothing
We turn our backs
Look away
We deny the truth that we are nothing
Created from nothing
As we create nothing
A world of clones and labels
A world of races and names
A world of religion and lack of faith
All sanity slipping
Why love a world that will never love you?
I won't meet your standards
I will cause you pain
I will label you a liar
I won't be a slave
I will do as I please
If you ask me to take the blame
You will always get a yes
I was a born scapegoat
And that, I have learned to accept
I will meet your standards
I will take your pain
I will be labeled a liar I will do as you say
If it pleases you

I wrote this when I was 14 or 15. It shows that I like to act tough, but I'm actually extremely weak and that I end up taking the blame for everything.

I liked this rather a lot, but my poetry is still stuck a bit as it was when I was 14 or 15, so maybe I'm just seeing myself in it. Haha... Not that I guess there's anything wrong with liking a poem because it reminds me of me.

It was so dark, girl. I respect your feeling while I can’t agree with some lines in your poem. I wonder why you wrote “We are nothing” while the world is created for us to approach to that absolute truth. It is really a disappointing idea for creation of human being to think he is nothing and has come to this world for nothing.. while the path he must pass is approaching to The Eternity. If we believe the next world, then we won’t have a world of clones and labels, races and names! That ever our breathes have meaning.. to reach that goal.
Next line I disagree with is: “A world of religion and lack of faith” I meant the first part “A world of religion”. We believe that Religion is just one and all holy prophets have come to lead humanity to the right path. The goal is just one but they used different ways to lead the people of their time- since the people of different times were binded by different superstitious thoughts- so we have religion not religions!
Enough for disagreements.. let me tell you my general idea about it: First, the poem was so new and I can assert it was unique for AP especially the title that attracts the readers attention at first pace. My mind is still busy with the question you made: “Why love a world that will never love you?” The repetition of the second and fourth santazes were maybe the most strong part of the poem: “I will label you a liar.. I’ll be labeled a liar” ; “I will do as I please.. I will do as you say/ If it please you.”
In general for a fourteen year old girl, it was so great for the words.
Thanks for sharing this with us
