Today
I found a poetry scholarship today.
I don't know what to say, to write,
to voice my opinion on.
I'm not much of a leader-
I stay quiet, controlled, reserved.
I think before I say,
before I do.
I don't regret many things;
Everything is something new,
something learned- A lesson.
Would you go back if you could?
No, not just you- Everyone!
Would you change yourself if you could?
I wouldn't, couldn't.
Why change me, to make others see?
I'm annoying, immature.
I'm not good at focusing on one thing for too long.
I'm young, passionate.
And yet-
If someone can't accept me,
because I'm me,
then it's not I that's losing out on something.
Don't dwell on wasted time- there's not enough life for that.
Live for the present because
the past is done, nothing to change,
and the future's always uncertain.
I could keep giving you words of wisdom,
but it's not me who decides whether it's true,
whether it works.
I'm simply stating what I think, what I believe.
I'm not telling you how to live.
That's up to you.
I found a poetry scholarship today.
I'm not much of a writer-
but all someone can do is try.
