Everything I imagine comes to life
Everything I want comes to life
Everything loved came back to life
Everything I draw comes to life
Everything I write comes to life
Wait.
Let’s stop.
Am I imaging too much?
Amari-
Brooklyn, NY
Smart but naive
Ready and steady
Slow paced
I’m in no race
My mind at 19
Young but intense
Full of potential
Sometimes mental
My life at 19
Decisions Decisions Decisions
My Decisions
With my consequences
And my diligence
Responsibility at 19
Get a job
Help pay bills
Pay cell phone bill
Money there
Money there
Money gone
Keep the house clean
Make your bed please
Mama’s rules at 19
Under mama’s roof follow mama’s rules
In at a decent time
Do dishes before you go anywhere
Sunday clean up
Won’t be no screaming
And if you wanna pout get out
School at 19
Graduated
College
Frustration
Premeditation
Discrimination
At my age we have very little patience
Life at 19
Experiment as much as I can
Never settle
Defeat battles
Demand respect
Your family’s stressed
Relive the stress
My mind at 19
Whatever goes?
To bright to be my age
Achieve goals I only dreamed of
Mistakes make me
Me
Take a break and breath
Don’t give up or leave
Exceed Exceed Exceed
Believe you’ll Exceed
My mind at 19
Silly but serious
Gentle but physical
Hurtful but careful
My mind at 19
Very sure I’m unsure
