Adolescence Relived

Just turned fifteen today
Another year on record
Documenting my questionable existence
Countless crystalline shards of uncertainty
Adorning my heart gallantly
Reflecting my many disappointments
Glass-pierced wounds laid open
On display for all
To delight in wanton mockery
Arms reach down to lift me up
Caressing me lovingly, professing love
Casting me down mercilessly
Laughing derisively as my frail body breaks
Sheer panels of finest silk
Saturated in free-flowing plasma
Brought forth by vicious talons
Of those who profess compassion
I see their faces with truest clarity
Their heads drawn back in raucous laughter
Delight etched in their faces
I cry out soundlessly
Sixteen lies just months away
Each day holding nothing but despair
Every moment pleading for deliverance
From today and all my bitter tomorrows
