Eighteen
I don't know
while my tiny body sleeping
in the starry night
one side
desire of
tearing these papers
who owned no back
cause he seemed half-black
oh
I'm sorry for
not knowing
who to aim
what to kill and
where to die
isn't owning insomnia
the evidence of livings?
well I am still rolling time
who sat his butt on my desk
desiring
I can tear these papers?
but look
sharp blood-red lines
connects the throne
and look
spark in the end
blazes
like a chopped off neck
of a star
'He became legend soon he died'
sudden sleepiness push me
from the backside
onto the berth
but no body
would ever notice
curiosity of the dream sneaking into
taut veins and
they will soon
pierce out this evil night

Couldn't sleep at night writing poems, and it got me questioning about my future career. Am I actually going to continue writing poems, giving up my time? What will this give me?(Definately not money and the fame)
Overall, I tried to express one's internal conflict between dream and the reality, and whether they should compromise with it or not.
I tried to express the passion of 'eighteen' throught out the poem
However, I felt like it wasn't me who was questioning myself, maybe devil.
I tried to end it with the happy ending to indicate that I in the poem would not give up my dream and passion.
