Coming of Age

Within our youth, for growth we lust,

My memories stay, but the happiness fades

Well I came of age, but turned to dust

With every mistake I lie awake

I’m still so young and yet feel stagnant

Empty dreams give way to grief

Indolent thoughts now running rampant

A spirit full of empty holes

I speak my lines like a cold machine

Hiding lies behind insincere smiles

As do the robots that reach out to me

A reputable name perverted by fame

Falsified comfort drives me into the dark

This fool believed you offered relief

As only darkness can soothe my heart.

  1. Damn, I love the thought out into this one.
    Especially that ending.

    I know all too well, that feeling of comfort found in the darkness.

    Great piece, my friend!

  2. your work just keeps getting better & better.. a part of the idea reminds me of something I wrote earlier, & I guess that makes it somewhat easier for me to understand.. good work, man. this must be one of your best

    • I must admit that I’m having fun experimenting with the structure of my poems. I’m glad that you were able to relate to it on a personal level! Thank you NB!
