when i was younger
they told me i could be anything...
...as long as i worked hard enough
(they lied)
growing up i was oblivious
as to what I wanted to be
(i never was much good at anything)
until
You
showed
up...
i stood a bit straighter (more like a lot)
dressed a bit nicer (all my money went to clothes)
and smiled a bit brighter
but You didn't notice...
(4 years of braces down the drain)
now...
here i am
17 years young
and all i yearn for
is to be
Yours...
(but i can't be)

The first poem i have written in years... i don't know if it's good or bad to have something to write about.
