Errm, well this is a poem I just wrote out of nowhere. After the diamond, the weird shapes you see are supposed to be a bottle, and then after that, a genie lamp.
Yeah, I fail, deal with it. Constructive criticism would be much appreciated.
What happens when a child grows up too fast?
Matures prematurely?
Forced to do so by events
One or several
Life changing
What happens when a child grows up too fast?
No time left to play
No time left to be a child
Un-realized
Dreams dead
What happens when a child grows up too fast?
Dreams left to falter
Dreams no longer possible
Forced to grow
And take over
What happens when a child grows up too fast?
Is forced to make its own decisions
Not completely sure of right and wrong
Differences excluded
Intelligence incomplete
What happens when a child grows up too fast?
Consequences unconsidered
World pitted against this child
Undetected
Not noticed
What does this child do?
Will it survive?
Go on with this new life?
What does this child do?
Escape?
Except its fate?
Except its fate?
What does this child do?
Is it over-taken by trouble?
Over-taken by anguish?
What does this child do?
Will it understand?
Does it comprehend?
What does this child do?
Set itself free?
Lock itself in?
Will this child rise to the occasion?
Fall to the ground?
Survive?
Die?
Live,
Love,
Learn?
They’ll
Try
This
Child’s
Faithfulness
To acknowledge
It’s painful life of
Living alone, unknown
To the world, under the radar
Trying to live without the ability
To know a parents love, a parents help
That follows a child to the end of childhood
The childhood it was forced out of, forced to miss
Due to unlikely events, unhappy events, unfortunate events
That no one should be exposed to, but it happens all too often and
The factors of this life are not the best, parents dead, in jail, incapacitated
Now they turn to knowledge, courage, hope, love, friends, others, but
Only some take the right path, some become exposed to the other
Ugly side of life where people die, children die, everyone dies
Because of gangs, drugs, unlikely enemies looking to take
Advantage of these children, forced out of childhood
These children now know the world is imperfect
So imperfect, they know no love, only
Hurt and lies and deception and
Fear and they don’t live
For the fear that
They’ll die
Succumb
To the
end
They know
Depression
They dance
With worse
Things than
Some could
Imagine and
Their dreams
Are so ugly
Sleep that
Is always
Interrupted by
Fear and Nightmares
And objects that children shouldn’t touch
Like meth and marijuana and alcohol and drugs
But they will do anything to drown out their past,
The screams and the ghosts that haunt everything, the
Depression that stalked them from the moment they were
Forced to outgrown their childishness, the games they should
Have played but weren’t allowed to because of someone else’s
Mistakes that mistakenly ruined them, their life’s and the others
They knew, they’d touched, but no longer know, or think about
Because they have abandoned them for their own mistakes and
The cycle continues, bad decisions, old life drowned out, child
Hood forgotten, blocked out in attempt to convince themselves
That they are alright and this was meant to happen, but really it
Shouldn’t have happened, they shouldn’t blame themselves but
They do anyways, and at night when they’ve run out of money
And are on the run for they have borrowed money from the wrong
People, when the high that they’ve relied on to keep them in that
State where they feel protected from reality come crashing down
And they realize their life isn’t satisfactory but they must go on but
They wonder, must they? They believe the world is against them
They’re minds distorted by the decisions the made mistakenly not
Meaning to ruin their lives farther than they already were by some
One who was rude and fucked up. Their minds distorted by the drugs
And the alcohol they always promised to stay away, keep away from
In their childhood, but that was snatched away, the promises of yes-
Terday, the ones those who did them wrong made, knowing that they
Were jacked up themselves, and not caring who that left, what they
Left and not understanding what they have done and knowing
That whatever happened, they wouldn’t be there to fix it and they
Obviously did not care, did not display, did not show any concern.
These
Children
Did not
Deserve
This pain
And they Hope and wish
without realizing, that they could
Change their lives. Unaware of how this
Started exactly, wondering if it was their fault and
Even if it wasn’t, they still blame themselves and they wish
For a genie in a lamp, they wish for this myth to be true, they
Wish for the 3 wishes a genie would grant them if genies truly
Existed,and they drown themselves,bury themselves in drugs
Hiding their feelings, they’re wishes and yet they browze
And they search heavily, crazily, hopefully, unwillingly,
Not wanting to but they still continue this search
For this impossible
Unrealisticness of
This genie lamp that
Will supposedly grant them these
Three wishes to repair their sad broken lives
Eventually these people, these children who
They have had their childhood ripped out of
Their grasps will make the ultimate decision
That will change everything, the decision of
Whether or not to turn around and fix their
Life,to untwist their unfortunate past,to fix
What they have done to repair their child-
Hood that they had stolen away and finally
Become a responsible, clear-headed adult
But others yet will refuse all help and will
Misguidedly think that they can not repair
Their hearts and their feelings, and bodies
That have had a toll taken, have had their
Youth taken by their decisions, and now
They will make one last unfortunate, not
Conceived of by those who now have clear
Minds and good attitude, but their minds
Are very deluded and they feel they have
No choice but to make this decision, they
Have concluded that this is the only way
And their resolution, their final resolve is
The conclusion to this chapter, their lives
They think that it is best just to take their
Own life,silent suicides,spilling red blood
And maybe leaving a child behind, a child
Who may never have had a childhood, and
Will start this disturbing, sad cycle again
