Seventeen
Seventeen, well that's an odd number.
It can stand for anything, like, seventeen magazine,
or even seventeen candles on a cake.
Yes, I will be turning seventeen in about two months,
and I will have seventeen candles on my cake.
It might be seventeen colors,
or it might even be seventeen inches high,
or seventeen inches in diameter.
I want my cake to have seventeen stripes,
any color,
as long as it's seventeen different ones.
Along with my cake,
I want seventeen gifts,
wrapped in seventeen different colors,
seventeen different textures,
and seventeen different sizes.
I just want everything to be seveteen,
just like me.
I will also have seventeen friends over,
maybe seventeen guys,
and seventeen girls,
or maybe even a mix of both,
just to stay in the range of seventeen.
Seventeen days before my birthday,
I'll have a countdown.
Seventeens years of age might not be too exciting for most,
but for me,
it means i get seveteen,
seventeen years of age,
seventeen candles,
seventeen gifts,
seventeen friends over,
seventeen colors on my cake,
maybe even seventeen inches on my cake.
But what really matters,
and whats really important
is that,
i've spent seventeen years of my life living it to the fullest,
no seventeen regrets,
no seventeen mistakes,
only seventeen years of love,
life,
and happiness,
with the seventeen people I love the most,
who have been there for me for seventeen years,
and will continue to be there for seventeen more.
