Melani Udaeta Poet Other

Poetic Podcast Episode 12 Bop

I still remember the suit and Doc Martins, 
choker full of X’s, and a brand new mantra;
Rebellion was tricky and full of temptation,
doing my own thing alone with a mission;
Peer pressure never really phased me 
I was violently loyal to my own ideology;

I’m glad I met that straight edge kid
back in high school;

Finding a tribe that shared my firestorm;
No drugs, no smoking, and no alcohol.
Who knew others were my kind of crazy?
I always thought that I was alone, 
‘True til Death’ that lyric will never die,
it became a sort of gospel to live by. 
Yes, I was clean when I was in college,
as an adult that lifestyle’s harder to follow;

I’m glad I met that straight edge kid
 back in high school;

Now whenever I hit a difficult patch 
I don’t entertain any kind of crutch;
Working through it let’s feelings fade 
I can handle this just like the next bang;
As time goes by and the world gets heavy?
I stay sober, I’ve been there already. 

I’m glad I met that straight edge kid
back in high school.
