Seventeen

Happy birthday again
Another year closer to death
'How does it feel to be older'
I don't know, it's only been a day
I don't feel different in anyway

S eventeen years of life
E veryone filled with happiness and strife
V isions of my future are starting to creep in
E very day that goes by speeds up, time just seems to fly
N othing has ever had me as on edge
T han the thought of what is to come
E ach person that's ever been in my life has
E xceeded my expectations in one way or another
N o words can describe the contents of my life but I can say I'm content with all the sticky situations and the numerous frustrations

This poem was great, and super funny. Isn't it fun getting constantly closer to death? :D
I will turn 27 in a couple months. I really can't believe it. All I can say is enjoy your early years, they are awesome and terrible at the same time! Have a great day Ethan.

Thank you :)

I hope to make the best out of my last years of youth :D

Happy seventeen!

Absolutely beautiful, @sempaixsamaxx
I remember what it was like to be seventeen.
The days of hope and joy
When I could stay awake for hours
Run for miles
Talk for days........

Now I am a year shy of fifty
I'm one of those people who
can't seem to stay awake past 8pm
can't seem to find my voice
Say, "Get off of my lawn."
Call younger people "whiper snappers."
Remember reading books instead of tablets
and remember ...... oh what was I saying.

Oh that's right.
Happy birthday, my dear.

Thanks, this is really awesome :)

Happy Birthday Ethan! You are so young but with an old soul. You have a lifetime of wonders before you. Think of all of the possibilities. You limit only yourself so break down those barriers and start doing what you love.

Now that I am way on the opposite end of where you are at, I am so happy that I have learned so much from life, even from all the pains, suffering and hardship. It has really tempered me and I feel more happier and self assured than I ever have been. Life is about adding layer upon layer to give me substance and character. So look at life as a way of building you up into something truly wonderful. You have a good and wonderful foundation! Happy Birthday from an old friend! :D

Thank you :) I look forward to the rest of what my life holds and this year was just another step in my staircase :) i hope you have a wonderful weekend

Happy birthday! Chase ur dreams .uv got the talent already. Newby here! Hope you'll follow me @jackielovarquez 😊

I am in awe that you are seventeen years old. Your writing prowess does not reflect that at all. The word usage explanation is also awe-inspiring. Happy birthday to you.
