14; a new age
November 1, 2016
14
A mirror becomes more
Incessantly searching, looking for ‘bad’
Eating away at my mind, not eating at all
Trinity
Accepting myself because of her
Because I wanted to be ‘good’ for her
Because I wanted to be loved by her
Too many firsts in too little time
She smelt like warmth and cigarettes
And I would write poetry when she was on the balcony
I felt better and warm
I was open and dealing with me
I went out and felt the sun on my skin
And it felt like being kissed
My freckles got darker
My smile got brighter
My life got better
I was happy with being content

This was inspired by what I felt and expreienced when I was 14. I think it was a very pivotal age where I discovered a lot about the person I am and the person I want to be.
