Throw-Back Thursday!

Me being angsty at 16 years old - 2013

Hoodie

Forget me

Leave me to be

Under my hood where the darkness can creep

Under my hood where my hair is tucked away

No one can judge me

Because they cannot guess my name

Fool me

Go ahead and leave me to laugh

Under my hood until my lungs burst and I am forced to gasp

Under my hood until I need to sit down

No one can carry me

Because they cannot catch up with my frown

Have faith in me

Leave me to cope

Under my hood where sound is a distant joke

Under my hood where reality is left behind

No one will sit on my shoulders

Because they cannot fathom the hands that spin my time

Forgive me

But still leave me to be

Under my hood with my hands safe in my sleeves

Under my hood with my eyes on the ground

No light can free me

Because my face is guarded by shadow

Free me

Rip off my hood

Under my hood where warmth captures my heart

Under my hood where shadows refuses to stop when I start

I cannot keep wandering blind eyed and cross

Because life is waiting for me with open arms and a map for the lost
