Independence

So I'm now at uni, internet set up and everything. Going to be difficult to keep the poem thing going but I shall do my best :') 

Independence 
not so much in the sense
of freedom 
but trying to survive 
on your own 
away from home.


What to eat
and when 
what goes in the wash 
keeping things tidy 
little things 
that were once so easily
received  
no longer there 
replaced with thoughts
and responsibility
I suppose I may not feel 
one hundred percent ready
but now,
I have to be.


Makes me seem a bit down but I'm not :') I tried to make it rhyme and the words I picked seem a bit melancholy. Oh well...

Teen

Youth is the best time of our lives 
we can be reckless
not have to think
be chained down
we're free. 


Am I doing myself justice?
I drink
laugh
smile
dance
walk barefoot 
feel the sun
taste
try to find something new


I hope I can look back 
without regret
who knows?
Maybe the best
is yet
to come.
