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

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