We all had those times in our lives where we just want to be ‘different’ and such.  The joys of the adolescent years.  Eww, indeed.  I look back on those days (which are getting further away.. quite fast), and reflect.  Especially now, having a toddler son.  I keep thinking, is he going to act like that, too?!  I shudder at the thought.  But then, I start reminiscing about my teenage years, and I start laughing.  I was.. pretty ridiculous.  And quite the angsty poet.  I still have a nice ‘book’ I started of random poetry.  I’d carry around a little notepad and start writing whenever I felt the ‘flow’, or whatever.  I was such the pretentious bastard, hahaha. 

And now, I’m going to treat you to a little taste of what I wrote.  If anything, its so you can get a good laugh.  In this economy, lord knows we could all use a laugh.

Close

This distance is far

Time makes it worse

I feel the pain inside

Even when I close my eyes

Why can’t you be close?

Instead of a million miles away

Here with me

Here I my arms

Missing you hurts too much

Why can’t I get over you?

You treated me so horrid

I know you don’t miss me

Or even notice I’ve gone

But still I pine

This is so stupid of me

Why bother

I guess I don’t

You’re not close to me

Anymore.

Are you laughing yet? 

Burning

Flames rushing through my skin

The dangers are so near

We see every single dying light

Our red blood boiling at sight

Truth be told

Fire I behold

My life is at bitter end

Bubbling flesh rising high

The stench of oily scalp

My heat has peaked

And I rise above it all

We see all that is known

In the fire of life

It is ending now

Burning our souls

Eternal existence is wrong

Yeah, it was bad.  But I’ll save more for part II.
