A Poetry Journal of a High School Girl

Day 15

Let's go

Let's run

Take a car

Straight out of town

Let's have an adventure

Let's climb every mountain

Visit everything that's worth visiting

Live in the crappiest hotels

Let's be broke

Let's laugh on the road

Push everything side

Live in the moment

Let's laugh

Let's cry

Giggle at the cheesiest jokes

And tell our friends stories they'll never believe

Let it be just us

Struggling to live as those less fortunate

We won't care

Because we'll have each other

Now...

Let's push aside these wild dreams

Let's bury our noses in textbooks

Forget about roads and mountains

We are just teenagers we have no say

Let's graduate high school

Let's go to college

For that is the right thing to do

Living the same lives as everyone else

Let's forever remember

Let's forever be sisters

That's the one thing we can control

Forever we are runaways inside
