i'm drudging through old things in search of that recommendation letter i mentioned in the convo thread and found this old book of really shitty poems i wrote in like...the beginning of tenth grade or something.
i found this one poem from the point in my life where i got dragged into religion by this girl that i was dating and totally let it consume me blindly and it was a very immature time of my life (obviously, it was 10th grade).
well i remember i smoked weed before the conversion, and then afterward obviously renounced it. but not only did i say "no, i don't smoke weed anymore," apparently i become one of "those" kids. you know, one of those "wow, you're retarded if you smoke weed" kids. :rolleyes:
yeah, it's hilarious. what's even more hilarious is that less than a year later i broke up with that girl, ditched the religion thing, and went back to smoking weed. i was such a stupid kid, basing my values off the people i hung out with (again, tenth grade).
thank god though for my junior year, because i finally fully shed all those stupid blinders and falsehoods and the immaturity and started basing my morals and values on things that i actually stopped to think about.
BUT, i getting to the hilarious part, so i found this poem i wrote from that straightedge point of time in my life, and it's so hilarious that i must share (not to mention that it's just a god awful poem).
i'm going to type it exactly how it's written, lack of punctuation and all:
Pothead Kicker
why don't you put that pipe down
and pick a book up
I think your parents should lay the smackdown
before you fuck up
"ooh, marijuana, it's ecstasy
everything is better
look at my eyes man
they keep getting redder and redder
your friend wants to smoke
and i think you should let her"
that's what you think huh?
wow that's a surprise
what you say is true
but only the thing about your eyes
so that's what you thought
that she should get fried
well about her wanting to smoke
i think that she lied
and yeah, i tried it before
and it did open a door
and then it opened another
another and another
but i got outta that trap, outta that maze
i opened my eyes and stopped getting blazed
marijuana isn't ecstasy, it's more like false hope
so you are what you smoke, just another fucking dope
aside from the horrible, veiled logic of my tenth grade, inconsistent brain, i think that last line is actually pretty clever, ha!
oh man, i was so retarded in tenth grade. god damn that girlfriend i had and changing everything i believed to suit her! that's why you don't need to fall in "love" when you're 15.
either way, as this long post winds down, i figured you'd enjoy how hilariously retarded that poem was.
