Seventeen

John Lee


Just a boy, I'm a teen..
In trouble but smart, man I can do
Anything..

My father's not here, step dad doesn't care..
Mom does what she can..
Raising four kids and a man..

If only someone would believe in me..
It doesn't matter, it's not meant to be..

Wait, what am I saying, I'm lame..
There's no one to blame..
I could've done anything!

I'm stuck, I'm trapped, i need to let it go..
I need to move on but how, i just don't know..
My mind's not with me, a normal life I haven't seen..
Because at the age of thirty-six, I'm still seventeen

    Wait. Is all this stuff you write autobiographical/confessional?
    If they are,let it ALL out,because you are getting better and better both artistically and mentally
    (I think?)
    I have guests this long weekend,hence not a line from me,so I got your message...
    I would check them out next week. Thanks for taking my advice and reading my stuff.😃
