fifteen

fifteen years
five after ten
it'll never come again.

long tinted tresses
almond eyes,
brown and soft.

psychedelic bedsheets
eggshell blue walls
stereo set and dvd player
R and B,
rock music,
pop music,
that's me.

secondary three
homework galore
headaches and heartaches
projects and essays
such a bore

sundaes and chocolates
marshmallow freak
mocha ice blended with rhumba
that's me.

low hip jeans
with black branded tees
sneakers and belts
eyeliner and rouge
on weekends,
that's me.

fifteen years
it'll never come again.
