Default Re: Poetry part 3

Here's a poem a made recently. Its being made into a song by a friend of mine.


26 Going on Infinity

Caught out in the rain
Somewhere between Pride and Shame
Will I be here again?
Maybe I want to

The road goes on for miles
Covered in a thousand tiles
Pictures of me as a child
Youth lost to you

Don’t know what I want to be
College wasn’t much help to me
Can’t find my Identity
26 going on Infinity

Trapped by self doubt
Stick my thumb out
In frustration I shout
Only I can hear

Time to walk
Ahead and not balk
Erase the lines of chalk
That I fear

This isn’t how it was supposed to be
Live my life for me
I don’t want an Identity
26 going on Infinity


The first two stanzas are really the only one's that I think are any good, but I needed two more for the song so I made something up about hitchhiking through life.

And incase any of you were wondering, my main influence is TS Elliot, and if any of you have read him before you'll probably see the similarity/rip off.
