Trails walked by others
Paths carved by those before us
Their own metaphor
Stage, be our lantern
Blue and silver be our light
Our tassels ready
We walk our own trails
Seventeen means
I’m too young
It means I’m on the bottom rung
It means I’m just a kid
Who needs to keep a lid
On her beliefs
Because it might cause someone some grief
To know
I am a jagged egde of wonder.
Curious. Open. Receiving.
Tangled within my hair are questions and tasks and opportunities and projects and ability.
Build me patience.
what if i said
im ready to go
im ready to change
just show me the way
the path
the life
im ready for you
lead the way
i am lost
blind
and hopeless
I’m scared to tell you what’s going to happen,
‘Cause I’m not ready to let you go,
I’m scared if I tell you,
We might never grow,
I’m scared to say “I love you”,
‘Cause it ain’t so,
I love you
My heart is yours
But my body is not ready
Please do not try
to convince me otherwise
this morning tonight,
preparing to what is set forth,maybe destiny;
i speak to the light,
crying and weeping, unknowingly pressing forward hastily;
maybe one day i'll know, no; be
listen to me wen i say
that im done
its over
i need it to be over
listen to me when i say
that im ready to try
im ready for this to end
listen to me when i say
Brave- to live a life worthy of the calling have recieved.
To not be afraid, but to leap, to jump, to go.
To not be scared of the unknown but to embrace it.
I want to be brave.
I long to fly.
The ship sat anchored to the shore
The captain, skipper, and crew working at her core
Sails being raised and decks being scrubbed
Three famous words of Shakespeare
I've spent thirteen years of my life in school
I think I'm ready for another 4 plus.
I saw the heartbreaks; the failures; the successes
It’s been 12 yearsOf chores, work and sweat.We didn’t ask for itBut overall it was okay.
We meet peopleSome were horribleSome were greatBut overall they were okay.
Sat down and stared at the mesmerizing sky,Didn't expect to find a friendI can't even liePeace was all we yearned.
Congratulations, they said.
I’m finally finished, is the thought running through your head.
What a journey this has been.
I thought I’d be excited, but I’m sad to see it end.
Meeting new people, learning new things.
Freshman year,
We tried our best,
Avoided Seniors,
Passed our tests.
Hazing came,
In various ways,
A book check here and there,
But we were safe most days.
when we're in the mood
when we're in this place
when the temperature rises
and our hearts start to race
and in between heavy breathing
accompanied by low moans
That look is a look that can be seen a thousand miles.
That look changes lives and create smiles.
That look flows from a mother's approval to a daughter's heart.
That look shows that the girl is smart.
I am expendable.
And I absolutely will not believe that
I can do great things.
I understand this may be a surprise, but
“Have faith in your abilities”
Was a lie, and
“I’ll never figure it out”
I'm ready now
Ready for your bullshit
I can take this fight
this battle
this war
This never-ending game of drawing circles while you hog all the pencils but I
Have the eraser
I have 98 days until I’m gone
Gone from friends, gone from family, gone from home
I have 98 days to get ready
Deadlines, clothes, jobs, money
I have 98 days to think
Am I ready ? Or am I not? Can’t it just wait?
In a little house, just off the main road
I lived and loved with my family.
The house was small, and often cramped,
But it was warm, with good smells and lots of smiles.
It was a house of imagination,
I see the clock counting time,
The minutes passing by.
tic tock tic tock…
The noise in beat with my heart
Is it the end of an hour,
Or just a new start?
Tic tock tic tock…
Change the Setting,
The environment I am in now is just a plain turn style sequence of scenes.
Memories I have are only forming drab chains around my wrists trying to restrain me.
I Graduated!
High School is finally over
I am now going to college to be free
It was fun for the moment
Parties
Late nights
Drinking
Being on your own
Then exams begin to come your way
I'm ready to live,
and get out of here.
I'm ready to fly,
to forget my fear.
I'm ready to do things
I've never done.
I'm ready to find myself,
to be someone.
I'm ready to see
I was born into a great family
When you have a family it is not always about me.
A family is about love
We all fit tight like a glove.
Being broke a having you wishing money grew on trees
And keys to Mercedes would appear from no where like a stray dog wit rabies
And see I'm scared to love a lady
(A poem based on telling my past self four years ago)-Does contain suggestive language
Dear freshman me:
Hey!- you yes you there blond- hair tip moron
-sighs-
Am I ready for the real world?
Time just simply flies by
Now junior, about to be senior
Have thoughts about college, but
Not ready
Not ready, to leave family
Not ready, to leave friends
School is now over, and I have nothing to do
But I know I have a basketball game at 2
What team should I play for what team should I choose
I have to think fast cause the deadline is soon
