Growing up, listening to the eras of life
When the world freezes and the pen clicks
CLICK
A another broken heart
Healed and Shattered
Written in the pages of paper
Like stitches in surgery
In the blink of an eye
Your eighteen
Nothing makes sense
But you pretend
It does so you don’t cause a scene
Wondering will it all end
Or will you find the words
You’ve tried so hard to scream
Thinking…
Wondering…
Confusion…
Anger…
Sadness…
Happiness…
Peace.
Life has a funny way of portraying emotions


The author's comments:

Growing up, you feel uncertain about certain things, and then bam you're 18 and you're supposed to have it all figured out. We go through different emotions because we are human, and I always laugh at the way life throws things at us. So that's where I came up with the title "The Unspoken Words of Childhood" that we have all these feelings and were not sure how to express them.
