PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So confused about life by itself

Things I can’t hide anymore

They’ve fallen off their hidden shelf

And haunting me like before

Alone in my mind, I aimlessly run

From eleven years old

Searching for 21

Memories blocked from so long ago

Out of nowhere suddenly revealed

Trying to be strong but I just can’t hold on

And so much can no longer be concealed

Fighting for so long, I’m finally outdone

Eleven years old stuck in a body at 21

Drunken rages I can not explain

Lashing out and no one can see my pain

And to myself I’ve forever been shunned

Memories at eleven, in a body at 21

I’m sorry; I can’t act my biological age

I’m 21, but I never got to that page

I’m stuck on eleven, still making out each line

Skipping around through 12 and 20, but I’m frozen in time

You saw what I tried so hard to conceal

You don’t love me anymore, and that’s all I’ve revealed

Eleven for so long, but it’s all been said and done

Still a hurting child stuck in a body at 21
