Teen
In school never took the time
To sit back and relax
Use my mind
Because a mind
Is a terrible thing to waste
Busy with so much never looked around
Having too much fun
Now I am searching for meaning
And currently
I am going out of my head
Thinking everyone is watching me
Watching me make another mistake
Jumping from stone to stone as I get older
Different sports I played
My grades stayed mediocre
I should have written a book in the first grade
Now I am digging out of my hole
With my own spade
Living in the past
Writing for the future
Searching for peace through words
Optimism through my tragedy
Venues arose
Front running through unity
A utopia of the mind
Everything in high school was
Horny
It was the age of fifteen
I first got in trouble with the law
Probation devoured me
Took control of all my activities
Sports became a simple job
I couldn’t find the key
I have become a fire burning wild
Locked inside a frozen ice cube
At sixteen I had sex in a hot tub
For my very first time
Lost my virginity
Was in student government
Grew my hair into dreadlocks
What if the president had dreadlocks
Natty dreadlocks
In a pin stripe suit
The world would be unconventional
In this
Conventional Generation
I cut those dreadlocks off a year later
At seventeen
Left high school
I wanted to rule
Dreamed of conquering hunger
Universal healthcare
One currency for the entire world
One language as well
Use those smart asses who build rocket ships
To build running water for the people in
Africa in
Asia in
Europe in
South America in
North America in
Australia
The world had become
A place of uncomfortable noises
Full of people with no eyes ears or mouths
But just a shadow
Chasing the person in front of them
Drastically changing everyday
Meeting new people along my way
Learning as I go
I was definitely going
Going on my way
