UNTITLED
I've still got Bud on my mind.
It's hard being a young girl in love.
I wish it wasn't this way.
I want him to be the one.
I want him to dance with me.
Dance close and dance slow.
I want him to hold me tight.
I know I'll be safe.
I only wish.
If it were true, I'd be soaring like an eagle.
December 8, 1984

UNTITLED
UNTITLED
It started out in 1977, god dropped you a little gift from heaven
Two parents struggling to do the best they can, giving it all to the child they had
Love kept them together through the years, always caring for me and wiping my tears
I miss the closeness we once had, when I think about it- it makes me feel so bad
I used to be able to tell you everything, keeping no secrets and having no shame
Where is the loving father I once knew? I wish I could say my love for you has only grew...
But you make me angry and pissed off, and I want out-
That's why I am leaving here for good with out a doubt
I hope you enjoy your new life here without me, all quiet and stress free
Just remember the choices you made, you brought
me to this, the path has been paved
I'll be out of here by dawn- I hope you'll miss me when I am gone........
*I wrote and left this for my parents before I hitch hiked (via truckers) with 2 girlfriends from Eugene OR to San Francisco CA to live a more glamourous life..."

Time:
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Location:
The Railway Club
Street:
579 Dunsmuir Street
City/Town:

At the July edition of Teen Angst we encourage our readers to bring out their 'sexiest stories' tales of first kisses, first times and awkward hormonal moments.
It's going to be an awkward and hot July... we hope.

Teen Angst is an open mic comedic reading series where everyday people read from their embarrassing old journals, poems, songs, essays (and more), in front of an audience.
Part stand-up comedy, part poetry reading, part karaoke (in the way you go to watch people embarrass themselves). Similar shows are popping up all over North America, come and the one that’s been going strong since 2000! (That’s like 6 years of angst- you could go through high school twice again!)
