Your stood here with your toes on the brink of misty edge,
Ebbing away behind you your time has built a path.
Your knees are cut from the path of rock
From obstacles long since overcome have the cuts healed
And now you are built from towers of scars
Impressions cast in flesh cast in soul, cast in mind.
Slow dreams.
Reaching out over misty edge touching your toes,
like small skirts of mussels on a rocky shore.
You step slow steps and the mist clears.
You can see in front of you,
A path ebbing before you.
Look up look on
when you're seventeen.

Poetry: When you're seventeen
by DC Aries
Life Lessons(When I was 17)
They said everything you need to know
you learn in kindergarten.
Maybe that's true.
The alphabet
Chords
My life is hard rock music
With lyrics
That don't make any sense
But with a rhythm
That catches your soul
Swings you around
And
by Janet Hammer
I thought of all kinds of things I would say,
when you turned seventeen.
The day has come and gone,
I don't think I said them
Having Fun aint what it seems
Especially when your Seventeen
You can't do this
You can't do that
Whats the point of being a
"Seventeen and Seduced"
Solemn on my bed
I sat
And told my journal
A thousand tales of
Love.
Seventeen and starving.
