Intro: I won't put the tone up on this one. Today is my birthday. I'm really unsure how I feel about how I wrote this. It's very exposing...?
Seventeen
I didn't think I knew what love was until I turned seventeen
The memories have be recalled and I'm thinking
I was twelve or was I thirteen?
None the less I was still young and back then I didn't think twice
Now I'm more reasonable then before
Because I'm seventeen
I feel fifteen but I know it's not true
I'm just waiting for the years to pass through
I know that I am young and I will only get younger
But until I turned seventeen
I didn't know what love was
Now that I know what love is
I sit here and think of the people I dearly love
I think of the people deep down in my heart
The couple of few that will always stay
The love I have for you my friend will never leave
Never shall it leave even if I am dead
Love is not romance
I figured that when I was young
I just knew it was fun
So I did it
Love is a feeling that one will never completely understand
Love makes you do things behind your own back
Love causes rational action, ones you don't take back
Love is a never ending definition
Love is that
For the moments that I have been seventeen I've thought to my hearts content
I don't feel seventeen I think
I feel feel fifteen I speak.
But now it hits me
It lead up to here
Until I was seventeen
I didn't know what to hear
Now I hear myself
It's not like I ignored
Although, now I can say that I hear my voice
A voice that will always reassure
That love is experience
I love my friends
I love my family
Even if they make me break the fence
I love myself
Even if I'm the last person I would want to love
I love every stranger
I love those who care
I know what I love now
It has become clear
I'm seventeen
Happy Birthday to me
I've heard people scream it
I've heard people smile as they hear it
I'm seventeen
Now that I know what love is
I can go on
With a smile
Now that I know what love is
I can admit that I'm seventeen
I am seventeen
How old are you?
Conclusion: Today's my birthday! And apparently one of my lucky numbers is 17 according to The Great Creepy Zoltar. Lol that fortune telling box was really weird but funny. It did tell me to start the new project that I've been thinking about and it has lead me to starting my third poetry book. Welcome to All The Obstacles Never End Mentally, Enthusiastic Notes Taken. I hope you enjoy these selection of poems.
My Fortune From Zoltar:
Now is the time to start that new project you have been contemplating. Your deliberation will pay off in the long run because doubt is the father of invention and the key to knowledge. The new found industry pays debts, while if you despair, you will only increase them. The time is right to get going. If you are to move the world, first you must move yourself. If you find yourself working too hard to achieve your goal, you may find basic truth. The great person with vigor would demand the rightness of things, timeless of action, and propriety od method. In this way, power does not become sheer force. You will be surprised at what you accomplish.
I started the project. I observe myself which is key to my knowledge and I'll figure out the rest as the day goes by I guess. Lol.
