Youth. Poem by Matthew Leggett
Youth.
Rating: ★5.0
This chiselled jaw conceals my wrinkles,
Inside I rot. Do they know their luck
That they can drink, smoke, f***,
Without a thought? Whilst I’m in peril,
Beneath my mask of youth. A pretty shell
For an ugly hermit, drowned by oceans
Of doubt. An alphabet of fears, notions
Of escape from an unavoidable hell.
