"This is gunna be GREAT!" -what I said when I was little


Sometimes I let my guard down






And just have a good time








I say whatever I want too









I laugh, I shout, I whine



























I simply say what I think









And do not care who knows





My thoughts spill out and float away
Until my mouth snaps closed

























That’s when I take it back








Suck it in
Erase those words
Like it never happened

Sometimes I say things that I shouldn’t
That no one needs to hear
Things that bring nothing good
And fills me with fear

At times I lose my temper
And let it all pour out
Every bad thing I ever said
Every curse, every cry, every doubt

Then I take it back
Suck it in
Erase those words
It never happened

When moments like this
Catch me off guard
And my thoughts fly around
Before they fall like stones to the ground

It’s right then, for just a moment
I feel a kind of relief
Until I realize what I said
And then it’s all just grief

So I take it back
Suck it in
Erase those words
But it still happened


The author's comments:
I was in bed one night, regretting something I had said when the words "take it back, suck it in, erase those words, it never happened" came from some where in the back of my head. I wrote them down on my arm and wrote the rest of the poem the next day. A week later I put it up at a talent show for other teens to read. Some of my friends there said that they could relate to this really well, and it was about something that a lot of them were going through.
