A poem a day - Day 10

I turn 40 this year so I may compose a few poems thinking back to when I was younger. Like this one. 

I was just 17
Obsessed with tight shirts and collar bones
Boy's with bobbed hair
Twin Peaks and all things Indie

The future was 
Next weeks indie night at Ritzy
My exam results
The distant gleam of university

I didn't know
How lucky I was
What I wanted from life
Or what it had in store for me

If I could go back
Give some advice to that teenage me, 
it would be:
"Don't be scared;
it will all work out well in the end!"
