POEM STARTER

Long for Passion
Oh the passion of my youth
the talent that gave me pride
The papers I would jot upon
then promptly I would hide
poetry of a wondering mind
of the future I would inquire
The lust of a lonely teen
the extremes of my desires
Played out on the pages
Like dramas on a stage
Till inevitably they faded
And withered with the days
Oh how I long for wanting
To fill journals with these words
Without the doubts so haunting
asking what’s the worth ?
So pen please take me back
Paper be the guide
Perhaps I’ll find my courage
And this time I won’t hide
Oh man, those last four lines are perfect. I can relate to this a lot. There were several hobbies I had as a teenager that I was embarrassed to show the world, and only as an adult I realise how sad that was.
I really love the way you use lyrics. I mentioned before - but it really feels like it could be rapped or performed as spoken word.
