Fifteen years
Once I was fifteen years old
I always wanted everything to be ok
I guess not
Having my sister attended second senior year
Then dropped out of school
And become a “dancer”
Coming home with stack of money
Finding drugs in her bedroom
listening to my mom saying mean things about my sister
When I knew my sister was just trying
But all I had was hopes and dreams
Once I was fifteen years old
Often over think
With deep thoughts
Questioning my gender and sexuality
Planning my future
Coming to a conclusion
Just thinking
Thinking in my own world
Like an outer space
As my thoughts flouts by
But all I had was hopes and dreams
Once I was fifteen years old
My friend’s mom forbid me seeing her
For the fact I’m gay
Seeing my other friend fighting with her mom
Reminding me of my sister and my mom
Falls in love with another girl
With brown eyes sparkle in the light
Soon I’ll be sixteen
Soon I’ll take responsibilities
Soon I’ll go to college
Soon I’ll achieve my dreams
But all I had was hopes and dreams
