Summer Night Rants in a BasementA Poem by Carly HoltzmanHuge fight, bad night, girls running into the street
with tears rolling down their cheeks, Pale like the sweet meat of an apple, Comforting love always there to care for when the
others avertedly hate. Teenage lust thinking its love trying to grow up fast,
settle down, get a job, get fucked, live the life we dream, sitting on the
porch talking big, Not knowing whether you’re loved or just another
person, Being young is hard but its fun as all hell,. Youth is fragile, a state between knowledge, a time of
heartbreak and fake and the times we will miss when we sit in the cubicle, far
in the future. Creativity is dead? No, just the desire is. Lets get lost, lost in the love and the beliefs we’re
too scared to proclaim to the world. Remember your worth because its all we have. We have
no money, we have no souls, we only have this and tonight and each other. Boredom isn’t sitting in a basement, its regretting
the times we didn’t spend with each other, the times we didn’t take the time to
kiss and to remind each other how special each butterfly is. Carefree-ness is something to absorb, something we
cannot forget to cherish because there will be a day when we are too busy to
sit and smoke and drink and enjoy the nothingness of summer nights. © 2014 Carly Holtzman |
