So I lived to be seventeen
It’s hard to think about who I’ve been
Pretty
Silly.
I imagined the world
I was enchanted by the Earth
Dreamed
Fabled.
I thought the world is under my feet
Disappointments that I haven’t dealed with
Wrong
Hopes.
So here is my confession
Now I live for pleasure and passion
See
It’s me.

Birthday Poem
So I've lived to be sixteen
My years have flown away quickly
Like a
Summer
I have lots of things to do
I'm always hungry for new
Very
Happy
I'm looking forward the future
Every day is an adventure
Full of
Purpose
My life is a blooming flower
With all its beautiful power
Sweetened
Moment

So - I lived to be seventeen,
I'm almost a teen,
I am,
I am.
I used to go to elementary school,
We had six music lessons/week, it was cool,
really,
silly.
I travel a lot, I was in Istanbul,
But I didn't see any bull,
luckily,
luckily.
Now, I go to high school every day,
That will end in the next year may-
be,
for me.

Birthday poem
I lived to be eighteen
Always eat in the school canteen
not even
tasty
Gift that I came my way
Where the Oscar won by Ann Hathaway
never
ever
I could have been combat air pilot in the air
Instead of being a hairy mechanic engineer
Goleotto
Marzio
Against me with chemistry lessons
The spirit of Apáczai defended me
high
school
Shiny little stars of destiny floating
In my loved one’s light-blond hair
Sour
Potatoes
But Aunt Ann, if it gives you cheers
That this student isn’t going to Dr. Miller’s eve.
Third
Lesson

And I am always busy.

And i wait for luck like kings.
Too

16 years ago, opening my eyes for the first time
I saw two hands, wow, are these mine?
Well,
Weird.
White light blinded me, should I feel happy,
Or rather be scared of this harsh, cold reality?
Laughing,
Crying.
I was one of all the bloody, wrinkled newcomers
All the same, crying, held by our tired mothers
Gasping for
Oxygen.
Every day teaches me something new,
Sometimes I learn stuff that I already knew,
At least
I learn.
I'm glad for going to Apáczai, this school
Educates me not for a few years but for a
Life-
Time.
Our life is short, we have to do our best
I want to see the east, south, north and west,
Never
Settle.
I want to help where help is needed,
Live usefully and don't be wasted,
See bright,
Live bright.

I've lived already seventeen,
I saw lot of things.
Good.
Bad.
My years have flown,
I want to live moor.
That's right!
That's right!
I could go to a wrong school,
Not to this excellent,
My stupid head!
Head.
I can bee a good teacher
In easyer way a cleaner.
I dont want to learn.
Learn.
