The Boy Named Crow

Being young

When I was younger, they assumed I knew nothing.

People judged me, as if they all knew everything.

They say, “Your problems are much lighter than our sufferings.”

When will they ever stop invalidating my own feelings?

I am not satisfied, and I feel like my world is crumbling.

I want to run away, and start a new beginning.

I am wondering if life will be great someday.

Just like how I imagine it to be every day.

Growing up

Growing up, living out of my own window,

Where you can see loneliness and woe.

In a world full of misery and difficulty,

Is this where I am supposed to be?

Yes, being independent can be crippling,

But I know, I can stand without giving.

My yesterday might have been a cloud of sorrow,

I’m sure there’s a sun that’ll shine tomorrow.

The Storm

However, people oftentimes confuse me,

Their voices were lost in the echoes you see.

They’d be telling others that I am scary,

For wanting to let go and be free

Maybe, the constant storm just won’t let me rest

Every single day seems like a test

Making me think that peace will only be found in a hearse

Or perhaps, I am a boy who’s cursed?

Running Away

At fifteen, turn-tailing seems the only panacea,

To those prodding and fleeting home diarrheas.

Some say turning back does not equate to bravery,

But, it’s perplexing as I only want to fly out of this wavery.

Every day feels like yearning for the wind to carry me.

I wonder, am I destined to flee?

Or are these just another covet to run away from today?

Because I know every tomorrow, I’ll find my way.

What it means to find yourself

I can't wait for when my clothes won't fit me anymore,

and the shoes that I walk in won't take me to the same places like before.

The people around me will become strangers,

and the promises I once made will just become favors.

There are a lot of realizations from growing out of the same place.

I can't help it, I want to start new and feel a different kind of embrace.

Never in my life did I think of this more,

than this moment right now where I've opened a new door.
