Tormented

[Bookthief]

All my youth, dazed
and confused.
Wanting peace, found
pressure. Odd and
quiet, I cannot deny it.
The fancy to succeed
is all need. Proud
yet guilty, I have no
necessity. Try on
various masks, they
are no help. I want
danger, I want to
excell.

[Bookthief]

Savage, savage, savage,
keep me from this baggage
you putrid, demented beast,
you are nothing to worry at the least
I have been chewed enough,
you want to be tough?
you think I'm crazy?
oh, on the contrary
you are a morsel, a leech, a pest,
I am more at my best, ask all the rest,
to see myself sincere and faultless
I feel safe and doubtless.
you have kept me down long enough,
I'm done, I'm through
oh no, no, no, say it ain't so...
to be so cold,
to be so alone.
...to be savage

Hehe, I'm sorry I missed that.

The first one really shook me up. I can relate- you may a kindred spirit of mine. The way you wrote the first one, from one contradicting thought to the next, one staggering idea to the other, really captures the torn way you seem to feel. These are good, Thief!
