I have an empty bottle, that I chugged at midnight, two dimes, and some scraps of poetic phrases. I know poetry wouldn't sell on the streets, but I'm not homeless.
In a few months I will leave my family, all I've known really, and I'll go back. Back home. I never thought home would be five minutes from Wal-Mart, and half a block from everything else. But it is. And I'll go back, I'll grow smarter, grow up, grow used to what I have, what I don't have.
I may as well settle in-between, because I can't forgive either end, either home. I wonder where I will end up, I'm so not ready to grow up....
just rambles on and on and ons...

"Grow up" you will, ready or not, and there will be wonderful things to see and do, but only if you learn to forgive and want happiness badly enough, Your verse
is mature, well phrased.

the morning brings its own light. Each day you are alive shall provide you with opportunities. Somedays you hate opporunity. There is comfort in the same old shirt and the same old shoes. Mama, why does baby have to choose.
Daddy dropped by and he said why, "Cause you hate it when freedom is what you have to lose."
Stay in touch. Friends are the best part of every day.
Love, Tom B.
