Dear God

(poems go here) Dear God, I've had a long day and I've been trying to pray, but the words on my mind, keep spilling out in rhyme. I know everything happens for a reason, a prime example of that staple fact is seasons, but sometimes my path seems hard to follow, and my heart and bones feel a bit hollow. "Birds have hollow bones, Birds don't need phones, Birds can fly, Why can't I?" Now back to what I came to say, oh yes, I'd been musing about my day, pondering my destiny, and all you have in store for me. I try to always laugh and smile, but sometimes i remember I'm no longer a child, my frowns bring me down, as if I've tripped over a much too long gown. I'm not one to easily take the fall, I normally stand fairly tall, At five foot three, you know i mean that figuratively. High School's hard, I know you've heard it all before, and my story isn't one of adventure and gore, just of a smart girl with a good head on her shoulders, who sometimes tries to move too big of boulders. Sometimes I cry, even when there's nothing in my eye, emotions spill over in tears, it doesn't get any easier through the years. I may be only seventeen, but often it seems older than I'm meant to be, I don't want to grow up, because sometimes my head wants to pop. Live life as through the yes of a child, and your adventures, may they always be wild, but in the end you may seem grown up, and that, well it just might be enough.
