Being 14
Being 14
It’s kinda like being unseen
No one really notices you as you walk to class
They always seem to know when to laugh
You laugh at the wrong time and a tad too loud
You understand that you won’t fit in with the crowd
You’ve always been a bit “bigger” than the others
Sometimes you just cry at night under the covers
You’re always moody, angry then sad
You start to think about all the good times you’ve had
You see the boy you like, He waves at you
You can hardly believe it, Could it be true?
But alas no he was waving at another girl
You know the one with all of those curls
You run home bursting into tears
Turn the stereo up and cover your ears
You walk to your wardrobe and grab some clothes
You start to cry and scream but nobody knows
You relax yourself and ask “What’s wrong?”
You jump up and switch off that blaring song
You know that one day you will be seen
But until then you’re just being 14
&
Eternal Damnation
So Here I stand asking you to love
Asking for eternal damnation if you will
We knew this is how it would end
You diving in for the kill
All I ask is that you do it fast, slow doesn’t matter
You know I want this
But I want you to do one and the other
Love & Kill me- all with a kiss
You say you’re scared for me
Though you know you shouldn’t be
I will be fine, I have no fears
We belong together, forever and many years
&
9/11
I can hear planes overhead
Nothing unusual
Little did I know that those planes would be the reason I’m dead
Here I work in my little office
With all my pens and things
While those in the planes were striving to live like kings
I hear a loud noise and then a unified scream
What is happening here?
This must be a dream
Everyone starts running down the stairs
This morning I had no cares
Worried only about getting here on time
But now here I am running for my life
Screams of my co-workers are cutting me like a knife
I need to find a way out, but here comes one more bit of strife
Another sonic boom attacks my building
This time I don’t run
I can’t move
I just lay there waiting for someone to come
No one can save me now
I’m already gone
All I hope is that my memory lives on
I died at my workplace in the Twin Towers on the 11th of September 2001
