16/F Ive always loved reading poetry, but writing it is definitely something new
No Dad, I don’t want another kitten. Thank you though. No Dad, I didn’t study. I just sat at my desk with my math book open. No Dad, I’m not mad at you. I just have a grouchy face. No Dad, I didn’t shower today. I don’t deserve to feel clean. No Dad, I am gaining weight. I’m sorry I’m not as beautiful as I used to be. No Dad, I do enjoy leaving the house. I just don’t have the energy for it anymore. No Dad, I didn’t get out of bed today. I just jumped up as soon as I heard your footsteps near my door. No Dad, your talking doesn’t bore me. I just don’t know how to respond anymore. No Dad, I don’t hate hugging you goodnight. I just don’t deserve your attention. No Dad, I’m not your angelic little baby anymore. I’m sorry. Please dad, Don’t give up on me.

Im sorry Dad
I hate her, dear god I hate her so much She’s only a year older than me, yet she’s achieved so much It’s like everywhere I look, there she is laughing with the actors I used to idolize acting in sequels of shows that shaped my childhood It feels like she’s mocking me How is she so freaking perfect she sings, acts, writes songs, dances and she looks amazing doing it all I’d **** to be her or even just to look like her She’s blonde, pretty, kind, and funny All the adjectives that I’ll never be

What am I doing wrong?
I have a master, his name is Baton. He is always with me, whether I’m at home or school, sometimes even when I’m on my vacation. Let me tell you about my master, Baton. I hope you have the patience, for he is very specific and has quite large expectations. He likes cold hands as well as closed doors. He prefers it when I’m quiet; he hates it when I ignore. He doesn’t enjoy inflicting physical pain— but rather mental. But believe me, his words aren’t exactly gentle. He relishes the afternoons when I stay, but the guilt always tugs at my heart and pushes me away. He cherishes making me sad, but gets annoyed when I’m mad. I can’t help it though, especially when he makes me remember all the power I could have had. He loves to compare; he especially adores the sound of my heart breaking in despair. Sometimes I manage to shut him out long enough to run, but he never stays out long. He always comes back once I’ve had my fun. It’s those times when his voice is the loudest. It makes me stressed— that’s what he likes though, when I’m miserable and depressed. Perhaps one day he will let me out of my cage, and watch me with not a trace of rage, as I soar through the sky leaving him in the darkness, as I watch from up high. He will look at me all tired and resigned, but I won’t care— I’ll fly higher, leaving him and all his cruelty behind. But for now I must silently bear him draining the life out of my soul, with not an ounce of care. However my hope is melting quickly like candles in the rain, I wonder if I’ll ever make it out And if I do Will I ever be sane?

It’s seven past twelve I’ve spent a whole seven minutes being sixteen I don’t like it I haven’t changed I’m still the same me I feel like I’m still thirteen Crazy thinking a whole three years past since then It’s now eight past I don’t like being sixteen any more than I did a minute ago I’m so old yet so immature I’m still ugly and fat and lazy and smelly Nothings changed it was stupid of me to think that it would all disappear All the bad in me But no it’s still there It’s now ten past twelve I can’t help but think about what others achieved by my age Or even younger Harry Potter fought death eaters Shannon lynch dated Johnny Violet baudelaire made several inventions to save her and her siblings lives Felix Salinger protected Zelda from the war And he was only ten What have I done? Nothing absolutely nothing Beside making plans and setting goals I probably have triple more goals set than achieved It’s 16 minutes past my 16th birthday I must ask myself will I ever change?
