17

I sat here and wrote

10 different

******* poems

on being 17

 

All I can say is

 

I should have not

grown up so ****

f a s t .

 

And maybe that's where

you and I

went wrong

 

You refused to

grow up

as I kept maturing

and started realizing how

****** up we were

 

I grew up and realized

I can't live in the

shadow of you

making sure every ****

move I make

would be approved by you

 

I grew up and realized

the jealousy was only tearing

us a part because

you didn't want me

but you didn't want

anyone else to have me

 

I grew up and realized

I deserve so much more than

what you were giving me

and what you were giving me

was never genuine and true

 

I grew up and realized

I'm now 17

my life as a

teenager will soon be over

and I have to grow the **** up

 

I grew up and realized

you will not be around after high

school

we will be old best friends

 

I grew up and realized

it's over

and you are now nothing

but a mistake.
