Last two Mondays’ poems were me and my wife. From here on in they will be #mysterymonday: poems that I think would be better anonymous. This is for all the teens, freaks and outlaws out there. But one in particular.
———
This is not your best life
And it is not forever.
You are worth more than this
And you deserve much better.
One day you’ll look back
And remember this time
You’ll feel anger and sadness
About what now seems fine.
But each day, you grow stronger,
More shining and strange.
And the world will be waiting
When you shake off these chains.
