The Chance We Take

by kijakennedy

Sex is messy business When you're young like me Quick clean-ups when you come Make you never truly free To make love when you choose To lay where you lie Just isn't possible But we surely will try The truth is we're kids Sex is a chance we'll take When you're young and in love Love is what you always want to make But sometimes I wonder Is it really lovemaking Or are we fucking like all the others Because of the chance we're taking

Just someone who is rediscovering their poetic voice. I'll post my poetry on my tumblr page so if you see it on http://deadtigerlily.tumblr.com/ it's not stolen :)

omg this poem is really cool because your speaking for most of the teens in this generation. People usually think that it's lovemaking but I think once you find the right person your suppose to be with it's lovemaking.
