The ashes of a place once called home
The town painted my name black
People change
People grow older
I am not the same person I was when I was as a young teenager
People talk and say as they please
I feel lost with no where to go
The fear of being perceived
Some people don’t change
You grow out of them
Their twisted words still haunt you
I dream of them jolting awake terrified
I will feel at peace once I leave this town
Pack up all the boxes
With a piece of me
Stuck in my childhood home
Wishing people treated me differently
About this poem
The difficulties I face while being a teenager in a town I’ve lived my whole life
