Awkward (and queer)

Weep little lion girl

I am not here

I am not here

I am not real

I am a symbol, art,

Something to be analysed

I long to glow, to be ethereal

Though I know what I am,

An earth worm or worse,

A teenager

Awkward and queer

Uncomfortable and insecure

Unsure of who or what I am or want to be

    A really touching and
    melancholy write! ✍️
    Really pulls on
    the heartstrings. 😢
    Thanks for sharing,
    don't give up the fight!
    Best wishes 🤗 🌹. Thad

    touching indeed.
    but, fight we must.
    if we don't fight, what chance do we have?

  • sorenbarrett

    This touches close to home because many including me remember in our teen years we felt somewhat this way. You've touched a common chord and that is what poetry is all about.
