My Name is Michael


My name is Michael,

 

I like romantic dinners and long walks on the beach,

yeah right im not just some 90's date show,

I game and watch netflix until the late hours of every night,

and im also fascinated by visciously punching numbers into a TI-84,

 

I absolutely loathe general education and the foundation that it stands on,

the idea that kids can be made like cookies in a factory is archaic and unrealistic,

don't get me wrong though i'm not rebellious nor am I known as a"bad" kid in anyway,

I play their games so I can get the grades I want and move on in life,

education is a necessity but a painful one at that,

 

enough ranting about the broken educational system,

I find it interesting to let my mind wander about the many mysteries of life,

for example; me writing this poem (if you could call it a blank verse),

at this single moment in my life I am typing what I think my life is like,

however its an unescapable paradigm,

I will never view my life the same as anyone else nor will I even view it the same in the future,

chances are by the end of this poem I will have already changed the way I view my life

and that is what I think is awesome,

 

well I hope this was an acceptable poem I dont write too often,

I tried to make this poem as real as I could while still maintaining a theme

I hope you accept this application,

My Name is Michael
