I am a second generation poet,
to My Mother i owe it .
Passed down to me as a gift,
In a time where my life was set adrift.
Time has a way of slowing us down
Creating cobwebs in our minds like a ghost town
My Life is much more different
But this gift has always helped me feel less indifferent
It is a burning desire
To keep lit my poetry fire
That was given to me so many years ago
Forever kept in my depths below...
Hello Everyone it has been a good few years since i have been on here much has happened in my life but my Love for Poetry has remained
I have been married since 2018 and This year we welcomed a Handome baby Boy into this ongoing crazy World We are living in
This piece literally came to me today as i was re-reading some of my work from years ago
Time sure has a way of showing you how much you have and have not changed
I look forward to getting to submit more of my work so you all can enjoy
-Love Always Ettie
Living on this weird lane,
Here you will never see it rain,
Nor will you leave this road sane.
We are living fast,
We've forgotten the past,
We wont live long, lets make this last.
Our postivity will never be a crime,
Now that we are in our teenage prime.
We will see the future,
We will always be mutual.
We have made history, crossing the line,
We are taking our time.
Some of us are living in the big city,
Some of us are itty-bitty.
No more clicks,We are just doing this for kicks.
Lets forget our differences and our pain,
We Welcome You To The Teenage Fast Lane!
