Age of the mind

I don't quite know how old I am,
But I have been alive for 15 years.
I know that I have got older
But I do not know that I have come of age
And I do not know that the effects of such a thing are external.
I know that my mind has grown
From a small sleepy village
Into a vast city where, despite its size,
Very few live.
I know that along with the growth
And with the transistion from village to city
Comes negatives.
For often; I do not dream
I do see
And I see this time for what things are
And what things are can be really very sad.

I don't quite know how old I am;
But I know I have been alive for 15 years.

hey:) well, i'm amy, i'm 14 and i'm currently in year 9 at a school in my area:p I'm from Lincolnshire, which is in England, and where i'm living currently. I absolutely adore music and have obsessions with John Mayer and Luke Bryan:p I play guitar (primarily acoustic) and a little drums, and i'm looking to start playing piano sometime soon also:p I see writing as a very good way for me to express myself and so i suppose this is why i'm here. Majority of what i write about will just be thoughts and events i encounter that i find particulary interesting. I hope some of you guys find them somewhat interesting also:')

Now And Then...

Occasionally, my mouth, she runs off and ends up in the gutter, with egg on her face. At her age, she really should know better. But, I guess that's life. We live And we learn, We twist And we turn.

I'd Like To Think.

I'd like to think I'm nice,. People have said so once or twice,. I'd like to think I'm fair,. What I have to offer I'm happy to share,. I'd like to think I'm honest and true,.

Today I Realized

I don't have many friends. The few I have, couldn't care less about me. I am not pretty. I am not as smart as everyone thought. I am lazy. I am quiet. I am boring.

Hopeless Humility

Contains Swearing. Fuck this generic world. You actually have no clue. The ugly human characteristic That removes you from the truth. For when they say to take a step back. I take more than two.

To Myself

Happy birthday. 19 years. I can't believe it, you know. Those 19 years felt like they barely happen. Like you just jumped from being 1 to 7 then 12 then 18 and now you're 19, soon to be 20.
