Teen Angst

Emma sits

Legs sprawling

The air

Tainted

With a foul scent

Causing the nose

To wrinkle

 

Dirty laundry blankets

The floor

Like mucus coats

Her throat

 

Slow, melodic beats

Soft, angelic vocals

Of

“idontwannabeyouanymore”

Drown out

The sniffs

The coughs

The tears


The author's comments:

I created this poem while listening to the song "idontwannabeyouanymore" by Billie Eilish.  We were given the task of using a selection of words for this assignment, so I chose "mucus, foul, and wrinkle" to base a poem off of.
