Poetry

I recently found a stash of my old poetry.  Most of this was written when I was young, around Jr. High.  I wrote a lot of this as a kid who had a hard time finding a girlfriend and an even harder time finding who I was.  I was in that awkward phase of life where I was forming and identity and had a very difficult time deciding what I was going to be.  I was jumping between skater, goth, slightly grunge and sometimes even mixed these all together in some amalgamation of Teen Spirit meets ICP meets Korn meets Garbage meets Elton John meets Journey meets Garth Brooks.

As you read the poetry remember I had no clue what I was doing.  I was trying to be pretentious and edgy and emotional and thought provoking but all it ended up being was a blender full of words, phrases, and teen angst.  

So...enjoy this romp through a teenagers failed poetry and feel free to comment, make fun, and laugh with me as my wife, my family and I have already done.  I will save the best (or worst depending on how you look at it) for last. 

ENJOY!
