Trying to figure out who I am,
Not wanting my life to be a scam.

I looked back on my personal history
And find my future to be a mystery

My life as an endless dark maze,
It doesn't matter where I keep my gaze.
Numerous shadows upon the wall
Comes with the fear that I'm going to fall.

Evil thoughts enter in my head,
From all the stories I've ever read.

All sinful things I want to stop,
Before my brain begins to pop.

The author's comments:
This peice is about my journey through my years in middle school and who I wanted to become in my later years of life, so this poem isn't finished yet, so you can fill in the rest.
