• Description: Hey, I'm back with another peom on life. Many of you have read my other poems and probably wondering why I haven't made new ones. Well I've been grounded for getting a C in an AP class, dude it's a college course, give me time! I just snuck on and thought you might like this so enjoy and I'll try to make more. Thank you for all the comments, and please make more, I love to read them. Thank you :D!

I'm sitting here
Staring at the sky
Filled with birds
That still fly by

I long to go with them
To be free of this life
To be part of a care free world
One that lacks strife

But unlike a blue bird or a raven
I'm bound by iron chains
Stuck here outside
To be left in the rain

Oh someone come help me
Someone set me free
I promise to behave
Let me go and you'll see

But no one can hear me
My parents made sure of that
People don't get me
They treat me like a rat

They wonder why I'm strange
Why I'm mean and filled with grief
It's because I have no where to go
I am where happiness is brief

I can't wait to be grown up
To do what I want to do
But wait, will my parents let me?
It's all about what they choose

Someone help me
Someone save me
I don't like this life
I want to fly free
Away from my strife!

I'm sitting here and looking at the sky above
Watching as the birds fly past
While I'm still here
Grounded by iron chains

I tottaly Agree!!! My parents are kina like that too..... they just don't understand that even though life was difficult during their time... It doesn't mean life isn't difficult for us kids in Our Time.
