If I could start from scratch

by Tripp   Apr 17, 2006


If I could start from scratch
I wouldnt change shit
Same friends and same hood,
same people, same hits

to my chest, to my torso
all the beatings and all the fights
I would keep, and remember
preserve them forever, in these spotlights

of my mind, and of my head
If I had another chance,
I would have still asked
Becky, for that one great dance

at paiges party,
and I wouldnt care what happens
I won\'t change anything
and I am never dampened

By these burdens across my shoulders
I\'ll carry my friends
forever, and ever
to the very end

of all out lives, if thats the cost
to keep these memories, keep this life
I wouldnt stop myself
from taking this knife

and pulling it across my flesh,
for ever scarring
myself, to me its an honor
now nothing is barring

me, from anything
from doing whatever I want
nothing can hurt me
not shouts not jeers, not taunts

I\'m invincible now,
Nothing can harm me
without my friends, and my life
I wouldn\'t be me

All these things have shaped me
into what I have become
now nothing can seperate me
from all my true chums

    Excellent poem!

    "I'm invincible now,
    Nothing can harm me
    without my friends, and my life
    I wouldn't be me"

    I loved your reassurance in those lines. This one is probably my favorite of yours so far, asides from your newest, but for some reason I just can't find the perfect words to describe how much I liked it. Keep it up though! 5/5

    Yeah, a little sloppy, I know. spell check wasn't working, and it wouldnt submit it, no matter how many times i clicked it. So i hit submit once more, and left, and when i came back it had sent it in...so yeah. but please comment ;-)
