A POEM BY BEN PARKER - 27/1/17

 

though this mind flows like waterfalls

this river is not drinking water

save these words

for your daughter

just because theyre selling makeup

doesnt mean you have to buy it

just because boys demand for this and that

doesnt mean you dont have to supply it

and if you want to kiss a girl

embrace that feeling dont deny it

when you make decisions

make your bed and lie in it

be a shephard not a sheep

to avoid a heap 

of boredom and simplicity

grow wild like flowers in the spring

keep these words 

under your wing

as i watch you fly through 

your childhood

dont be picky 

make sure that you eat good

treat others the way 

you know you should

be warm respectful

and keep your chin up

for every sad night

just remember the sun will come up

on a day

on a chance

to live your life to the max

i know you live in a world

long past brick phones and fax

but never sell yourself out

for that metal and glass

your friends may have more sass

and luck with boys

but never forget your self worth

dont turn into one of their toys

build yourself

build your wealth

build your health

and build your stealth

when you try to hide how drunk you are when i pick you up

from the adventures i hope you take on

taking on the world with every stride

your determination with turn the tide of your happiness

but for now just laugh at my dad jokes full of cringyness
