You boy.....

Pay attention....

Look me in the eye

When i am talking to you....

i know you got problems:

With authority and system.

But this is you talking;

Respect and pay attention....

 

Alright, alright, alright!

 

So you must’ve found,

Poetry by now......

i know you are writing a novel......

TAKE both of’em seriously.

Understand what i am saying.......

This world has got two kinds of people,

Which? doesn’t matter.

Coz you’re the third kind.

Life is hard.....

You will soon start losing everything.

But don’t doubt yourself, ever.

The hope will be lost.......

But gather your strength,

Improve all those skills you claim;

And be ready.

It will get worse.....

And then you will find love!

So you will start enjoying the s**t......

(If you know what i mean.)

And what is it with you and porn........

Avoid it as much as possible;

Coz one, you’re gonna get addicted.

And two: that stuff ain’t healthy.

So don’t do that.

 

Alright, alright, alright!

 

Soon your parents will

Start behaving differently.......

Don’t hate them......

They just want best for you....

They won’t understand you;

But you can, so do that.

Now more important things:

i am trying hard to realize your dreams,

And your help will be appreciated

In the future.

You are doing good, don’t worry.

But we could have done better........

Just be more of yourself.....

And work as you wish.....

Do what you want.

Don’t let anybody tell you,

What to do......

You will know better......you always do.

Now don’t even listen to me, if you want.

But do the thinking........

Just like you always do.

And we will be fine.

You are awesome!!!

 

Alright, alright, alright!

 

This is goodbye then,

Take care.

All the best!!!!

Author's Note

it's not that good a poem but i've tried to be honest and motivating for my 13yr old self.
yes i don't know why but i wrote this in Matthew McConaughey's accent, to some extent. Maybe inspired by his Oscar speech. i don't know.
Thanks to MusicManiac for the challenge.........it led to some introspection.
i hope all the readers will enjoy.

I could relate with this one. We all go through that phase in which no one seems to understand us. We all have been alone or still are. But we shouldn't give up. I love your way to express it through the mind of a 13 year old!
I even liked the try to do it in McConaughey's way. Another great job :)

Really the kind that tells you :
"Forget that what everyone's telling...
And go ahead making your own future
by the two hands that you have!"

I liked it a lot! It is not preachy but hell yeah! It is motivating! Powerful in its own way...
The part that i liked the best:
"This world has got two kinds of people,
Which? doesn’t matter.
Coz you’re the third kind.''
