Confused Youth
Skyler Drevan

If only I were to work harder
The days go by so fast
I try to capture my way through here,
Where am I supposed to be?
This is as confusing as the mysterious knocking on the door
There is always no one there but I hear it
I am confused and frightened
No, not that, I am strong
Yes, I know I am
The story of Diana hurts me
The truth blinds me
There is a story to be told
But I fear I am getting too old
I cannot stop pacing;
Across these cheap linoleum floors
I hated these floors for years
Maybe they are the cause of all my tears
No, it can’t be
That is no excuse
What is that sound? My phone?
My phone hasn’t rang in days
Does anyone know I am alive?
Maybe I should make a sound
Scream
But I will not
I cannot
My throat is numb
But what have I done?
There is a sea of letters on the floor
If only I were to work harder
Maybe I would have been more
