i can’t do
what I want to do
so I do what I have to do
that’s what its like to be young
it’s not what I want to do
but it’s the best I can do
if I’m not aloud to get what I want
then I am supposed to want what I can get
it’s not what I want to do
but at least I have the future
to look forward to
since I can’t always go
where I want to go
i’ll go where I am aloud
to go
always understanding
it’s only temporary
i’ve learned to not always express
the way I feel
so I try to feel the ways
i can express
but this is why youth
alone learns to laugh
at the reason we cry

Very nice, Mariah. You really took a poem and made it your own, and that was the point! Keep writing poetry (even though we'll be quitting the poetry in class)...you are a great writer and it's been fun reading your work.
