Sonnet

Sonnet by Lilith Valentin

Funny how everything changes so fast

One day you're the top student in 5th grade

Next you're drunk, high, thinking about the pas,

Looking around at the mess you have made. 

You're family has already given up

All of you're old friends now think you suck. 

I should probably stop now and shut up

But I left out boys, who just wanna fuck. 

Trust me, I know I am only fourteen. 

Which personally just makes it all worse.

Maybe someday I will try to get clean.i

It's so hard sometimes it seems like a curse. 

Judge me all you want, I hate myself too.

But it' is my life, I'm me, and not you.
