Bombs...

Can some explain to me why everyone swears in poems.

Because I never saw that clause in the contract that you signed with expressive language.

But until you can show me where it is, just please stop. 

Kids spit the "f" word around here like 12.7mm bullets coming out of a machine gun at 100 rounds a minute, 

but if you didn't know that word is also referred to as a bomb, 

and we only dropped ONE of those on Hiroshima.

I Remember

I remember when I used to say my study habits would change when I hit high school.

I remember thinking that I'd be a professional soccer player and if I practiced everyday I would become one no matter what.

I remember when I didn't know if God was real.

I remember when I used to let my anger get the best of me.

I remember bleeding a lot, and turning everyone around me into a murderer.

I remember when my mission was 10, then 5, then 2, then less than 1 year away.

I remember I could wear things that didn't match, cause it didn't matter what people thought.

I remember when Nacho Libre first came out, and it was awesome.

I remember when vacation was just a thing and not a blessing.

I remember when my mom would wash my clothes and make me sandwiches after school.

I remember when my problems were so small they didn't even qualify as 1st world.

I remember my childhood being amazing, but honestly I like my life better now, because I choose

what the future holds each day.
