I am no rebellion
Mathilda Boe Sep 2014
I didn't do my homework
But you can say
That I tried
Tomorrow they will notice
My latest rebellious behavior

It annoys me a lot
Because no one ever asks why
Why did our straight A girl didn't succeed
Not this time?

I wish they would ask
Then they would see
That I am no rebellion

I'm actually just being me.

Mend
Mathilda Boe Sep 2014
I try not to fall
And you know,
I'm really good at it

I don't ever fall
Because I'm the type of person
Who always breaks

They always pick me up
And mend me once again
Then push me back out there

They call it love
Call it pleasant
Call it heaven

And I promise them
That this time
That's what I'll find

But I've fallen again
And I'm so sorry
Not for me
But for them
Because their is no worse thing than seeing

A friend whom you can not mend.

18
My coffee is warm
So I'll burn my tongue

Mother warned me
But I'm 18

So tired I am
Of staying up all night

I think about what a grown-up I am
Driving my car and drinking beers

Telling Mom to let me go
Telling him never to do so

But this morning I burned my tongue
And I started to cry

Nobody warned me
I'm still 18

I'm tired
Of being awake all night

I think about how big my bed has gotten
How to pay my bills and raise a child

My Mom told me never to call
And he rarely does anymore
#18
