Young

story by: Jessica Ross
Written on Nov 24, 2016

I had all these ideas of what it meat to be 24
I thought things would just fall into place and I wouldn't give it much thought.

but you're still so young they said; their words not enough to take away the feelings of disgust anguish and worry.

I had my own confusion masked with thoughts of grandeur and illusion.

I feel like a carbon copy of who they want me to be
I've lost the original me.

Sorry for being aloof 
I think it best,
sorry for being away I need to take a rest.

You used the word meat instead of meant The poem has great potential. The original you is still out there. All you need to do is find yourself. Composing poetry always helps.
