I sat on the bench waiting for you Rich and vibrant shades of blue Should I sit or should I stand? Should I reach out to hold your hand? Better now I understand Take me home Your violent streaks of dire need Eat the fruit but not it's seed Does your happiness reside in here? Free of sadness, filth, and fear? Better now it seems quite clear Take me home Rains outside at least once a day It covers the houses near the bay Is it now when I'm to see? What you are to do with me? Better now it seems to be Take me home This is the last time you will find Follow the road that twists and winds Am I all there is to show? Of the calm and soothing afterglow? Better now because I know Take me home
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem to show that many things society tells us (youth) refuse to promote self-independence. We are always searching for ways to conform or become a part of the crowd. I wrote this poem as an introspective look at youth and the problems we face.
