The path of an undecided teenager


I wish I could tell you what I really wanted to say from the bottom of my heart

but the truth is I don't know what to say to anybody, I was a quiet boy from the start

I don't know who I am and that is for only myself to blame, but I tell you I still have a flame,

in the heart that is mine. I know I can do anything because I know I don't do anything the same

I'm not predictable, I'm not ashamed of anything, I care about what happens in the next four years

because these years will shape me and mold me into a good man and I will leave with no tears 

because I know my path leads me down this road, and I have to drive down in it but I don't steer

I let my Father take me where I need to be, sometimes I have to take a leap of faith but he has never

ever let me down.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

Matthew Chasco

<p>I understand EXACTLY how you feel. I just graduated from high school this past friday and truthfully I don&#39;t think it has sunk in yet; and I don&#39;t think it will until I walk into my first day of college. But otherwise, you seem to have a great head on your shoulders, the right ideas and I congratulate you on taking one step foward!</p><p>Becca.</p>
