Oh god,
Do you ever get that feeling,
when everythings slipping?
slipping... just out of reach...
and you can't quite get
to where you want to be?
I feel like that,
I think I may have lost it...
I just blacked out,
like, my whole head just went,
and emptied out for a second,
it was very strange.
Then,
all of a sudden,
I was staring at the ceiling,
and then I realised,
that I'd fallen over...
hands over my face
I'm going insane.
I'm only fifteen!
I can't go insane!!!
Insanity is for others,
who have seen the world,
and seen global pain,
and have something to
drive them to madness...
I'm trying to explain,
how at this youthful part of my life,
I seem to have missed out,
on things I've never had
the chance to have anyway...
please don't call me mad...
call me confused...
that must be what I am.
A confused adolescent?
maybe...
or maybe I'm just leapfrogging
middle age,
going straight to that time,
when I talk about
'back in the good old days'?
I'll work it out another time...

Midlife crisis at 15. :) Loved the poem. It doesn't matter what your age is. Just speak from your own experience.

Charlotte, being 15 is a great time of transition. You also have a talent to take your feelings and define them..so few can do that. Keep writing!
