Truth be told
I never knew
How I felt towards the world
Was I angry
Sad
Happy
Indifferent
I can never know
But how I feel is irrelavant
Its how life treats me
That makes the pain self-evident
My pain which is a mockery of the world
You are too young to know
You are too young to feel
You are too shallow to realize
My pain is real
And my thoughs are forever
My thoughts last constantly
Flying through the vivid night
That releases what I am
Or aim to be
I remove all skins which guard my being
And reveal
The clarity of what I am
Is shown to me
And I realize
Whatever I want
Cannot be
Author notes
This poem explains how I am shunned by all adult figures, as well as my own peers when I am trying to be deep and understand life. Its really a testament to how I feel about people that think they are better just because of age or "experience"
"Vivd Night": Refers to my poetry, its how I feel when I am writing

I understand this well. Unfortunately for me, my situation tends the total opposite of yours. Rather than shun me, the adults in my life have piled far too much responsibility upon me. It has the same effect really. Each stage of life seems like it will never end, but soon you are looking back on it. Great piece, thank you for the entry.
