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
