Day # 12
Theme: Helplessness
Time spent: Almost 55 Minutes
Little child
Little child
Why do you sleep
Why do you weep
Little child
Little child
Adults don't nap
Adults don't grieve
Little child
Little child
Aren't you tired
Aren't you sick
Little child
Little child
Of being useless
Why don't you quit
"Little child" isn't fitting
Yet you don't resist
It's supposed to be degrading
Yet you insist?
Are you embarrassed
Are you scared
That real age
Will cause despair?
Do people call you young
For the t-shirts you wear
Or do they see through and laugh
At the "adult" burdens you bare?
Don't have a job
Don't have a life
Don't have a drive
Don't even try
Blame the anxiety
Blame the state
Don't look in the mirror
And blame your own face!
So pathetic
So pathetic
How old will you be?
"Don't remind me" you plead!
"I'll try harder" you quiver
"I'll do better" we'll see
Another day passes
Another month will cease
"I'll do better"
A new year passes
"I'll try harder"
Another year passes
"I'll do SOMETHING"
Yet another year passes
"You'll do NOTHING"
Haha, got you
Looks like I was right~
"Shut up, SHUT UP" you scream
"I try, I TRY" you yell
"I can't I can't KEEP UP" you sob
"A child, a child can't catch up"
"I'll grow up"
A year passes
"I'll do better"
A year passes
"I'm still trying!"
A year passes
"I'm not useless!"
A year passes
"I'm still here!"
A year passes
"Isn't that enough?"
A year passes
"I can't keep up..."
A year passes
"You, stop counting!"
A year passes
"Am I alone?"
A year passes
"How am I here...?"
A year passes~
"AAAAAAAAAA--"
Stop
"Huh?"
Be still
"A new voice?"
I'm not new
"Then why..."
You couldn't hear me
"This still, small whisper..."
"Has been with me all along"
"But instead I listened"
"To the loud, brutish thoughts"
Little Child
Little Child
Open your eyes
Get on your feet
Little Woman
Little Woman
Listen to My voice
Follow My lead
For before you was...
I AM
Comments: I colored the text to make whoever was speaking more apparent (granted there are three speakers, but I tried to differentiate her with quotations). Sorry if this is difficult to read. cat_sweatdrop
It's nice to write poetry every once in awhile. I like to think of this as a song, perhaps a vocaloid cover (cuz I'm a weeb lol). Anyway, I showed more of myself here than I intended to. Hope you guys enjoy it.
