The High School Years: Poems from an Average American Teenager

I am and what I was

I am the son that offers his help

I am the brother that looks after you

I am the best friend that stands by your side

I was the cousin who was there for you before screwed up

I am the grandson who will take you place

I am the nephew who you put second

I was the potential boyfriend who would have been there for you but you turned to a half dead idiot

I am the nerd that makes more in a week than you in an a year

I am the geek who you will need to survive

I will be the famous actor you see in the movies

I will be the surgeon who operates on you

I will be the director that makes your movie a success

I am a strong black man that will defeat all odds

I am the Prince that will one day be king

I am the knight that will fight his way to victory

I am the boy has become a man.
