r o bo ts

 When I was 17 years old I started changing with the seasons.

 My body and brain slowly rusting over once the winter started approaching.

 I can't tell myself I'm not a robot because all characteristics but physical are matching up.

 The ink bleeding onto this paper make up for the tears that have yet to leave my eyes,

 And my tongue constantly being sharpened, by the thoughts that are instantly being turned to words, with no sorry to follow.

 I still have yet to show you I'm sorry.

Maybe one day once this rust fades away.

A Time Where Things Could've Been Different

    We're all fools

everyone of us,

every oppertunity in hand

yet we still wish for things to be different,

to go differently,

to be different,

Every opportunity in hand.

     No more wishing to live in another generation

no more of the trash names labeling us because our generation is 'stupid'

'no good'

'worthless'

'a disappointment'

    This is a time where things Can Be Different 

this is a time where we are free to express ourselves.

                      to our generation:

we have points to prove

goals to achieve

and time to succeed 

because this isn't a time where 'things could be different' anymore,

It's the time where things are different 

and endless chances to be great,

you are no disappointment, 

This is the Twenty First Century with every opportunity at grab

Not just yet

Mama's drunk but certainly not off love, cause papa's not home and brothers' depressed along with sister, she's in distress.

I'm going to make you proud mama I promise,
 and now i'm thinking to myself, when?

When will I make her proud?

But I will, I swear I will, it's coming mama don't you give up on me too, not just yet.

I'm almost there, I'm so close mama hang in there please.
please,
please,
please!
That word has no meaning to me anymore.

I'm sorry,
im sorry
im sorry

That meaning is gone too. Because i've wasted them all on you. I don't mean those words when I tell mama anymore but I truly did mean them when I was telling you.

So I need to say it one last time,
Can you give me my heart back? ....Please? If you do then I could leave you alone.

(saying the title after every question in this poem, will answer all the questions)

At 17

At 17 I've lived too much.

I have loved more then I ever thought was possible

and have had enough heart ache to fill a chapel of worried sinners, worried that their new beginning won't ever be coming, but still believing.

Thankfully i've had my second chance at life, I could tell you it's already screwed but i'm still here at 17 so that has to mean something. 

At 17 I could've been the greatest already, even 16 or 15, well I sure was at 14 but nothing ever counts then anyways right?

That first kiss you've had at 14 won't mean a thing until you're in love at 17, standing on you're porch knowing that first kiss is coming. 

At 17 I found my person but at 17 the timings all wrong.

At 17
At 17 i've been to far too many funerals and have missed far too much school.

When you're younger you always dream of being 17. But at 17 it's never really what it seems.
