I Used To Say…

Writing 1 Minute

I used to say jets are cool
I use to look up to the president
Like he must be super smart
I use to be good at Mario Kart

I use to have so much more faith
I use to be blind to the ways of the world
I use to not understand why my parents split up
Now I’m in the same spot
Except it’s my heart that split from it’s beat
And my son gets to go through the same thing
I feel like puking every time I press repeat
I don’t believe in the religion called Deceit
I use to have trust
I use to think we walked to an honest beat

I use to love this place
Stress tattoos my face
Now I’m twenty-six
Going backwards in this “I’m proud to be an American” race

About you sections are always interesting to read. Some are interesting and others well not so much heh.. Hopefully mine will be more on the interesting side and if not well it's interesting to me. My life has been nothing short of challenging and now that I think about it, pretty interesting (not always in a good way). I've been through a lot of ups and downs in my young life and I'm sure I got a few more roller coasters to ride before my days are done. I am a father of an amazing son and married to a beautiful wife. I never quite understand my place in this world but I believe I am making some progress in figuring that out. When I was 15 I found my love for poetry and writing in general which is funny because I despised English class (still kinda do). Poetry is my passion and one of the few things I am good at and enjoy doing. It is my escape and part of the reason I have made it through to where I am now. I am on a mission to change how people think. Mainly the values that have been generated as important through the media and stuff. I believe we have fallen off course and I hope to provide some advice or just spring some new thoughts into the minds of anyone who reads this blog... If you like what you read feel free to share my blog with anyone you want. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it helps in some way.
