Major Turning Point

I regret what I did
For I am your kid
You’ve raised me better
So I shall write you this letter

I write you letter from the heart
Yet I don’t know where to start.
The holiday time is here
But it doesn’t seem like it has brought you good cheer.
I hate to see you frown
It always puts me down.
Nothing means more to me
Then making your face shine with glee
You might be here for a bit
But please take the time to read it

Your oldest will soon be a Papp
Remember when she used to sit on your lap?
Your middle will be eighteen
Does that mean its time to be mean?
Also his senior year will arrive soon
Better enjoy the time before he joins a platoon.
Your youngest (that’s me!!) will be able to drive
Did you enjoy the year two thousand five?

I picked up the phone
I felt so alone
I didn’t know who to call
But you came to my rescue before the fall
I thought you’d me mad
But at the time you were both to sad
I left you with nothing but the bill
From someone who listens how I feel

But now
I wonder how
I never felt so close to you
Its like the whole thing was my cue
I like nothing more
Then you being next to men when I close the door
That part of my life is through
All to the thanks of the love from you two

Dad and Mom
You guys know how to keep me calm
I love spending time with you
But the time we spend together is so few

Aggravated

When things don’t go my way
I just don’t know what to say
Everything unfolding before my eyes
But all I hear are my own sighs

When things don’t go my way
I won’t have a good day
As I am put there on the spot
I say something I should not

When things don’t go my way
I don’ know if I may
So many things to do
Yet without the support of you

When things don’t go my way
The only word for me is nay

About Me

Try my hardest not to give up in the middle of things I've already started
Involved in many things through school
Friendly with most people until they make me mad
Freighted by the thought of growing up
Almost a Valentine's Day baby
Nearly done with my childhood 
Young compared to most of my class

Pressured by family to work hard at all the things I do
Educated compared to a lot of my family
Tough to win an argument against
Typical high school procrastinator
Youth full of love, passion, frustration, and confusion

Miss You

The day I met you I was shy,
I never knew it would all turn out to be a big lie.
I was really into you,
But now I just don’t know what to do.
I just want to be your friend,
But I think I’ve realized that we’ve just hit the end.
Time spent with you will now be weird,
All of your? love ?for me seems to have disappeared.
I wish it would all come back,
And maybe we could get back on track.
I want you to know how much you meant to me,
And how strong my love for you will always be.
