Away from the probation, . . .

Is there a reason for me to hurt?
Is there a reason to be put in the dirt?
To turn to ash , The color of gray.
To be put in the ground .
Beneath the layers of clay.
Only a memory, A thought in one's . . .

Unstoppable

I want to talk
I want to speak
Will you listen?
Will you hear?
Or will you be like

(This is another poem I wrote when I was a teenager)
To be a friend or not to be
That's the question you ask me
You want me to do something that's wrong

To lay at night and watch the stars.
And hear the sound . . .
