Run.
Run fast.
Run hard.
Until your bones
Feel like fragile glass
Threatening to shatter.
And your muscles scream
And burn
Begging for rest.
Then run even faster.
Dive into crazy,
Reckless,
Unforgiving love.
Love hard
With everything.
Forget about being hurt.
Just like the first time
Let flowers bloom somewhere quiet and
Forgotten.
Wake up your soul.
Scream at it.
Saying, "It's our time"
Make mistakes.
The kind of mistakes that are completely your fault,
And yet you can't find any reason to care.
Break things.
Don't come home
Until the you see the sun spreading over the soft earth.
We are so young.
They expect nothing but mischief and mistakes
From us.
So,
Lets give them what they want.


The author's comments:
I've been hearing a lot of stereotypes and assumptions from adults about what teenagers are like. It bothers me, because we are rarely what everyone expects us to be. So maybe we should just be doing as expected.
