Summer Frustration.

Its summer time
I should have more time to do stuff
But nothing is getting done and I'm sick of it
I was bothering people on their own front doors

But Jon Bellion just came out with a new album
This shits fantastic
I'm buying a new car in a day or two
And all I ever want to do is just hang out with her

I want to Travel the world and I want to make promos for companies
Nobody is emailing
I'm pissed off right now and cant control it
I hope that if anyone reads they can relate to frustrations but as of right now this is what I got
No poem or anything creative
Just a POS list of reasons why I don't want to deal with anyone right now

The final countdown

Well this year was something special
I became a manager of a resturaunt
I preformed slam poetry in competition
I got accepted to college
But most importantly I met her

Most of you know who she is, I mean I've written countless works about her
But to be honest those don't mean anything
At leased they don't do her justice
Cause she's more than just the girl in "kind of love"
Or "for you I would"
Or "I miss you"
Or any other pieces of garbage I've put out about her

She's real, she's amazing
And I don't know if she's the love of my life
But I hope the love of my life is exactly like her

So if you were to ask me what my favorite part about senior year was
Heck if you were to ask me my favorite part of high school
Well the #1 thing I liked most about high school...
...Was her

So Kyle go ahead and critique me and tell me not to write another love poem
But it you were me...
You wouldn't be able to think about anything else to write about

This isn't a poem...
It's just how I feel


Thanks Kyle
Thanks Meg
Thanks CW2

You'll all live on in my heart

Writers block

I'm in a lull right now and I figured this poem from Kendrick Lamar to Tupac Shakur perfectly portays how I feel.

"I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screaming in the hotel room
I didn't wanna self destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went running for answers
Until I came home
But that didn't stop survivor's guilt
Going back and forth trying to convince myself the stripes I earned
Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was
But while my loved ones was fighting the continuous war back in the city, I was entering a new one
A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination
Made me wanna go back to the city and tell the homies what I learned
The word was respect
Just because you wore a different gang colour than mines
Doesn't mean I can't respect you as a black man
Forgetting all the pain and hurt we caused each other in these streets
If I respect you, we unify and stop the enemy from killing us
But I don't know, I'm no mortal man, maybe I'm just another nigga"

Teenage Parenthood

I woke up to yelling this morning
are they ever gonna understand that I need sleep
I get that that they both want to be right

You live in this house for free
respect it

He's 31 years old
respect him

If I could sleep that would be nice
but as of right now
They are both arguing over the stupidest thing I've ever heard

"I'm gonna call the police!"
"F*** You!"
"You have until tonight to pack up and get out!"

Shut up, your threats are empty and cold
Your language is unnecessarily vulgar and rude

Why is it that I am the most mature person in this house
Yet I'm the youngest by at leased 13 years?

Heres the deal 
You are both going to apologize to one another
She is going to get over it
He is going to be better about what she asks
You both are going to let me sleep and Calm the heck down

As of right now I'm 18, 
The youngest here,
and Yet I'm the only adult.

Kind of love

She was the perfect kind of love
The first thing I think about kind of love
The leaves cute notes kind of love
The smiles when she sees you kind of love
She was the only kind of love

I remember our first real conversation
The cute laugh kind of love
The still pretty after a soccer game kind of love
The talking for hours kind of love
She made you feel special

Her kind of love was the best kind of love
The "this feels right" kind of love
The "I miss you" kind of love
The "drive safe" kind of love
Cause you knew that when she said it she ment it
And she genuinely wanted you to be safe

She makes me feel alive
When I see her i forget about everything stressing me out
Because she is
The 2 a.m. FaceTime kind of love
The talk about boobies kind of love
The cuddle in movies kind of love
But for real she is like the best at cuddling
Like if there was an Olympic event for it
She would win the gold medal every time

She's the kind of person you want to be around it's the
The not so awkward silence kind of love
The put up holiday decorations together kind of love
The not quite in love kind of love
Cause we are in high school and I'm not sure we know what love is
But I've never felt this way about anyone before

So this is the closest I've gotten to love kind of love

Smile by Ceezar

It's me, again.

Hi I'm Carter J Pratt.
I'm not good at introducing myself but most of you know me a little bit.
Here it goes again
I'm 5'11" and skinny as Flat Stanley
My favorite artist Ben Folds
The best song I've ever heard is "always gold" by radical face
If you skip a Childish Gambino then I'm skipping out on you
Same thing for Chance the Rapper and The Shins
Yes the last three things were music but I love that garbage
I have 2 people that mean the world to me and one of them is a dog
I procrastinate so much that forgot where this sentence took me 10 minutes
when you ask me what my favorite food is I'll say Cubby's and yes I work there
I bought my car for 500 bones and I can hit 125 mph in it
This is literally just a list of random crap that I like
I'm getting bored.
Anyway I still can't grow facial hair
I love poetry but hate everything I write
Yes I genuinely hate it, I'm not fishing for compliments
Hate school. It's just busy work
Me and "hipster" should never be in the same sentence
I hope nobody reads this
Good day

What's left

I had a dream that Paris burned to the ground
Nothing was left of the city people dream of, just rubble and ash
My dream lasted a week, I wasn't sure if Paris was actually gone or if it was just playing hide and go seek
I avoided Paris for as long as I could
As soon as I knew it was still there I came back
Maybe it was the thought of going to Paris and seeing it in shambles or maybe I was afraid to be inspired by it.
I sat in my desk overlooking the Eiffel Tower that night, breathed a sign of relief and laid down my notebook
When I picked up my pen for that entry things were different, there was more to it
When I started writing things got hard like gum after it's been chewed for hours upon hours
But it was fun, the gum still had flavor and I couldn't seem to stop chewing
Paris is back and it's going to stay there in that little place in my heart right next to my hopes and dreams
They same Rome wasn't built in a day but Paris was rebuilt in one

I really don't like talking

I am sitting on the edge of the world looking out into the darkness
How could someone have so much to do with how I feel
I don't know if there is a direct correlation
But there is a knot in my stomach it is tearing my insides apart 
Ripping them up piece by piece and I'm going to throw up

When something in my life happens it's usually cause someone says
"We need to talk"
Throwback to 4th grade when I came home from a friends house to get stuff for a sleep over
My mother shattered my world for the first time when she told me she was getting a divorce
"We need to talk"
I got fired from my first job and I was excited but then hated it
It wasn't me it was him
Thanks for framing me for something I didn't do douche bag
"We need to talk"
When the girl told me how she felt and I had to act like nothing happened
It was then when my broken heart fell apart
I had to pick up the pieces for the 189th time and it still hurt just as bad

So real talk? No don't waste my time with talking to me about something I shouldn't worry about
Stick to talking behind my back and letting me live in ignorance
Cause if you tell me something I can't do I'll prove you wrong.
