Teen Boy
IN THE EYES OF MYSELF
In the eyes of myself
I am a failure
The one with no successes
A cursed future.
In the eyes of the beholder,
I am a disgrace
The one with no success
A sad little person
Set only to failure
In the eyes of myself
I want to be a success
The one who means no harm
Hoping for a hopeful future
Not made to fail.
Written in the YA/Memoir Poetry Workshop, June 2011
