Within me

All of 18
she shoots questions
day in and day out

making me look within
am i so bad?
or is she just lost?
Who would know, i wonder..

questions, i know not the answer to
life, i've lived by my own rules
renewing vows every day
enjoying every moment
or so i thought...

"What have you accomplished"
she asked.
a line that ripped my heart and soul,
tears flowing free

how could she?
how dare she?
i screamed
i ranted and raved
[within me]


life, a cruel game
rules i seem to have forgotten

my turn..


lost, i stand
i wish i knew why......................
