Unleash Us on this World

Fingers interlaced
Lips arching into smirks
Eyes taunting each other
Electricity crackling between us 

Wicked and wild
Kind and caring
Rebellious and free
Are the dreams, we have for this world

We think our stories are hidden so well
But, we wear our hearts on our sleeves
You can feel the thump thump of our hearts
Pulsing through the air surrounding us

We can't be stopped
We can't be tamed
We are the greatest force to ever exist
Mother Nature be willing

Young and stupid
Maybe
Unapologetically so.
If not now, then when?

Being young and dumb is a blessing. We make mistakes. We rebel. We care. We yearn for a better world, a brighter world. If not us, then who will go out into the world and heal it? Unleash us on this world, and let us heal the aches with the magic we bring.

Vicenarian

It scares me
Heart pounding
But not blood curdling 
No silent screaming

Very loud music
Lighting me up from within 
Gasoline in my veins 
Waiting for a spark 

My hands don’t shake 
They buzz
The world doesn’t turn dark
It explodes in so many colors
 
I quake at the colors
They leave me breathless
Asking for things
Beyond my comfort zone

I don’t trust myself 
Secrets whispered in my sleep
Opening doors to forbidden places
Places of gold

Done settling for safe
Adrenaline causing fear 
So sweetly sickening
Sick of closed avenues 

I don’t do well with secrets
Especially when they can’t stay down
The secrets I keep from myself
Who I am and what I want 

I want the sky
I want dreams that scare me
Shatter my perfect world 
I can’t stay here and fade

I have to fly
But this fear 
God, it is stifling

Growing up is awkward. Stuck in a period between finishing school and joining my first job – it’s not the easiest place to be. It’s an uncomfortable place to be. This place keeps saying that the only way to start life from here is to leave my comfort zone.  A transition that was a lot to begin with has now been frozen in time by our global crisis and I don’t know whether it’s good or bad. Ann Birch has written in 1997 that the young adult is usually preoccupied with self-growth in the context of society and relationships with others. I find this to be true, and it has brought as many answers as questions to me.
