teal (part three) (mini poem collection series)

29

my 20's rolled by

in my rear view

i wish i didn't waste them on you

i graduated college

moved across states

pacific northwest

i thought it was fate

not once

but twice

i was 25

fixing to add another year to my life

i thought moving to you

was what i was supposed to do

i relapsed a few times

but not on narcotics

my left wrist

i really went through it

battle wounds

darkness consumed

I'm almost 29

now i know I'm going to be fine

friends come and go

lovers tell me jokes

"I love you."

"I won't let you go."

can someone tell them the punchline

has ran it's course?

from 19 to 25

you consumed my young adult life

when i could've been traveling

learning about me

but i thought you were everything to me

writing this at 28

my simple life

my friends are my world

my passions are my own

i won't let another man

tell me how it's supposed to go

solitude is where I'm at

I'm almost 29

and I'm alright with that

these ten years

weren't really all that bad

maybe I'm trying to push it aside

so i don't sit here and cry

i know I'm beautiful

I'm worth every penny

i shatter my mirror

that bitch is a killer

my curves make up my beauty

i have love running through me

my 20's really passed me by

I've encountered too many wrong guys

college educated
