Life of a Teenager: Poetry from My Teenage Years

No Regrets

These poems aren't in a specific order. I have no idea why this one was first in this journal. I used to write these in separate journals. I can tell you right now, 18 years is nothing in comparison with what I am currently going through. 

Know that support is out there and if you need to reach out. I will listen.

Through my mind I see the past

Eighteen years has gone so fast

I look back at the obstacles and trials

That stretch of my life goes on for miles

I know I must look forward in life

Even though there is more strife.

There will be more tears

More admitting my fears

But along with the bad

That makes me so mad

At the end of every trial

There is something worth while

Though through the trials it will always be tough

Sometimes smooth, but mostly rough

Looking back through it all I see

Everything I have gone through has made me, me

So I say this with pride

I will no longer hide

I will stand up and shout

With these words escaping my mouth

'Come what may!'

'I am no longer afraid!'

So at the end of every day

I can laugh, smile, and say

I live my life with no regrets.
