You're throwing it away, you're wasting your life. <br />Listen to me, calm down and act nice <br /> <br />You're too young to know what decisions to make. <br />You're too stupid to know what opportunities to take. <br /> <br />You're just a teenager, too rebellious and wild to think. <br />You're on the brink of falling over the edge. <br />Don't take a step too far, be cautious, <br />right now you're on the ledge. <br /> <br />I'm just trying to help, so don't raise your voice. <br />It's not your choice anymore. <br />You must do as I say, you can't have it your way. <br /> <br />You don't know what you want. <br />You can't have what you hunt. <br /> <br />You can't have your own dreams, you have mine. <br /> <br />I couldn't live my life to the fullest, <br />so I'm going to make yours the dullest. <br /> <br />Don't waste your life or throw it away <br />because you're living it for me, my way.<br /><br />Arielle Perkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trash/
