Poem
The way she wore Chuck Taylors and wide leg JNCO jeans with a backpack and a skateboard your average 90's teen. Music meant life those days with a wide range of variety in my CD collection from Etta James to Rage Against the Machine but Sublime will always be my favorite obsession To get by i started getting high creating a lack of motivation I stopped trying to try. Class of '99 a whole year ahead of my peers young and lost without direction began the "adulting" part of my years Mistakes by the many not yet learning from the pain Waisted time spent hurting instead of the wisdom there to gain By the time I understood Its not what we say but what we do and it all happens for a reason so we can grow thru what we go thru Maturity isnt ones right And timing isnt set in stone for noone can learn a lesson for you its a journey meant to venture alone The struggle gets so real at times its appealing to not give a but giving no s at all leaves you growing stale and stuck Let your words and your actions be conducive to the future u want to live Keeping in mind that those who recieve the most are the ones who chose first to give Repeataive patterns with reason as stated previously is more than just an issue its also now opportunity When. Not if. Life gets harder and seems unreal Simply adjust how you look at things and youll also change how you feel Always accept whatever happens dont hold onto the past Learn and let go or itll pass by way too fast Live with no regrets. Live with no shame. Cause it dont matter how you feel Its how you play the game My final piece of knowledge to share is dont be so hard on yourself With all the beauty found in the struggle You discover the most valuable kind of wealth Agree or disagree I learned all this the hardest of ways But the years i belived i knew everything were thankfully just a phase When i accepted i knew nothing and ultimatly had more to learn I stared listening to understand instead of listenning to respond in turn And age is just a number that time uses to tell us a lie Cause no matter how old i get Ill be rockin my Chuck Taylors till i die.
