a little to young

A Poem by hmarieee

Your 16 years young and you think you know what life's about
Horrified when the truth really comes out
Being so young, naive
It's unreal
To see the truth of what happens
When you unfold the seal
Thinking you know it all
But you don't
Reading that letter
Things don't get any better
Your dads an alcoholic and your moms not doing any better
I guess it was truth be told
Some things are better left unsaid
Some people just don't realize that
And try to get in the way
They think its all about them and its all just happy days
Not for the ones who open the letters
The letters of those who passed it on to the ones unseen
The kids who were happy
The ones just like you and me
But some aren't so lucky
Others see it to easily
Be careful who you let in on your secrets
Keep it between you and that paper the one person who won't tell
Untill someone passes it down to a kid at 16 and makes there life a living hell
What I'm trying to say, can't you see.
I got my letter a little to early.

I don`t know much about growing up,
but being here on top
Seems to just b e the same
Somebody will love to seep you flop.
Love your writing, you will go far
don`t let `em hurt you
Raise the bar.
Thank you
