Almost Eighteen

Almost Eighteen

Frightened

Heart Broken

Most of all confused

 

Seventeen

Confident

Kind, ruthless

Loving, alone

 

Sixteen

My grandfather died

I got a job

 

Fifteen

My Uncle

Long gone

It's hard to keep my head up.

 

Fourteen

He broke my moms heart

And a window

I woke up to shouting

 

Thirteen

Please.

Be a good year

Happiest one yet.

 

Twelve

December 27th, 2009

I fell in love.

 

Eleven

Who am I?

What should I be?

I'm lost.

 

Ten

My mother and I,

argue constantly

She doesn't understand

That I blame her.

 

Nine

I wish

that everything was over

 

Eight

Divorce

Ruined me

My best friend left me all alone

 

Seven

I ask a question

Are mom and dad...

Getting a divorce?

 

Six

Weston...

My crush

Oh what a greek God he is

 

Five

Pre-K

That's my toy!

 

Four

Books

What what wonderful things

 

Three

DAD!

MOM!

ICECREAM!?

 

Two, One

 

Zero

Who will she be?
