Young and Dumb


If there's one thing I know, it's not how to right a poem How do I make my words rhyme and flow? Up until now, I thought I knew it all. I don't need anybody, not a mom or a dad. but see, I was wrong. Age of 16, thought I knew love. Met a boy, showed me a whole new world. I was put back on my feet. but that only lasted so long. Age of 17, had a life that was ahead of me. I knew it too, knowing made me become lazy. Drugs landed into my system, grades slipped. but I was 17 and knew it all. Age of 18, ooooh I'm so old. Legally an adult, so I must now it all. College comes, same as high school I say. But grades showed otherwise. Thats when I realized, I'm young and dumb. A life ahead of me, there's no way I know it all.
