Alright, all of these are going to SUCK. They will suck so much that you'll tell me to bury them and never look at them again. But it's about time I tried something outside of my comfort zone, so here goes.
Here's one that I wrote yesterday. (First poem I've ever written). I didn't mean for it to be for this but it counts, right?
April 3rd.
Ten years ago
We’d laugh and play,
Without a care in the world,
Or regard to the time of day,
In the eighth month
Of that very same year,
A baby was born,
And I had to share the title “dear”,
Eight years ago
I swam in the lake,
Laughing and splashing,
I wore a life vest for my own sake,
Another child, a boy this time,
Happened so fast,
At the drop of a dime,
Only five years ago now,
Was it really that long?
The fourth child was born,
And there was nothing wrong,
Only a few months later,
A trip we took
To a place dry,
Dry as the pages of an old book,
Was it really that long ago?
I’ve changed and grown
In the past five years,
But I’m still just a child,
With the same wishes and fears,
What is it that you see
When you look at me?
Just another teenager,
Awkward and strange,
Or is it something different
That changed your ways?
Though I wear a skin of a teen,
My mind is something younger,
I’m not like the others,
So Grandma why don’t you see,
I’m not just some other teen,
The difference is that I’m me.
