This is a song as well as a poem. But I figured it would get more attention being posted here. It may seem a little redundant but if you were to hear me actually sing/play the song, you would understand how the reiteration is desperately needed. So please, critique if you can while ignoring that factor--thanks.
fifteen
minutes of ordinary fame
artificial sane and old blood stains
we found in between
fifteen
choking on faces pasted on posters
that make us cry and make us fret
only so they can look right through us
to the million other fans
they've never met
fifteen
can't believe what they've just heard and
much too weak for their own words
always saying what they don't mean
fifteen
sorrows that breathe the sky
and he can't let out, he must deny
the endless tears trapped in his eyes
since he's been told that men don't cry
fifteen
arguments from down the hall that
leave the door open for broken recalls that are
making humans machines
fifteen
learning to play redemption games
when and where to change their names
when to say what they don't mean
when to admit that they're
fifteen
minutes of ordinary fame
artificial sane and old blood stains
we found in between
and what we make of being
fifteen
