Growing Older

For I am growing older you see It's not easy to be me Now that I am sixteen I'm not gonna waste my time On lost endless rhymes I'm gonna free myself And say what I want For writing poetry is my passion And what I can't live without

dont worry, its a gud idea anyways... thoughtful too, and its nice to do things like that for eachother. my gf recently made up an entire music cd for me, packaging n everything :P with a poem on the back and special songs that we like on the playlist... most people these days tend to be afraid of being so thoughtful, cos they're afraid they'd come off as obsessive :P
