The Honest I
I guess the reason I am the way I am
is that from a very young age
my vision of the world was
cracked
from sleepless nights
until dawnless
mornings.
I tasted my first sip of alcohol at a very
young age.
I was 12 the first time I willingly
got drunk.
I smoked my first bowls at the
ripe time of 8th
grade winter break.
I had unprotected sex when I was
only 15.
He came
on my
dress
and
said
"I don't use condoms".
From then on I was uplifted.
