18


I am 18 years of age

I have been very vague in my past days

In school, I have been called many names

but I won't let it phase me in any way.

I am still here today

I don't care about what you got to say

Words nowadays

take me to a different place

where I can contemplate

about all the hate

attention unneeded, don't need anybody to conversate.

but I have kept my faith

and if you do the same

I promise you more food on your plate

Trust in yourself and don't you wait

Every second is a waste

Do something and don't you deactivate

Be grateful and you'll be great.

18 lines in, I got a few more and I will update.
