My last poem written as a teenager

I'm at a point 

where I can choose the literature I read:

useless magazines, scholarly textbooks, 

thoughts from any place on the globe.

I'm at a point 

where I can choose what I believe 

concerning a higher power.

My moral code,

and my clothes

are my choice

and I could literally eat a 

gallon of ice cream if I wanted.

Every day 

I could destroy someone's life,

or show them love.

Im at a point 

where I must figure out 

who I want to be.

In the past, 

my class, education, 

family trade, husband,

would all be determined from birth.

But now, 

every aspect of life 

is a decision 

placed in my

floundering teenage arms.
