When I was young, it was easy

When I was young, everything was easy.
No one cared if you wore polkadots with stripes, or if the door stayed open, cuz you were afriad to sleep with no lights.
There was no "I wonder if he likes me" or "you're only cool if you take a hit of this pipe."
But now that I'm older, everything is hard.
There is no "yes or no", there is no "black and white"
I spend hours at night, wondering if I said it right
Or did I, ***** up.
Because now, thats all I think about.
Watch what you say, watch what you do, watch what you eat,
Cuz that one pound could mean if he says yes or no, that wrong word could mean an A or D on the big paper.
All you can do is, worry.
All the stress has gotten to me, to my heart, my mind.
The only thing I want, is to be independent.
But I can't.
I can't pay four hunderd dollars for rent, plus electricity, and put food on the table.
I'm only sixteen...

| A good write and all I can say is be yourself and your true friends will be there. I’ve been at that age and its to hard to be what you think everyone else wants you to be. You can only be yourself for everyone else is taken. Keep up the writes I can see the frustration coming out in your write. Take care and don’t grow up to fast for I know I did and now the days of young are over and now I’m here in Iraq watching the time pass by me. Now I have a beautiful family my life is so much better in so many ways. Things turn out okay in the end if you just be yourself….Steve |
