If Only

Class is in session My name is called for attendance All of a sudden I start to slightly cry I realize everyone's watching me Die inside Talking aloud my dearest friend says Why what is the matter? I say my mom is no longer here I need to be gone Can't finish my life without parents by my side What should I do? End it with a knife? Start over and tell a lie? I blame myself everyday Fifteen years of struggle Now as a sixteen year old Past-life is the monster I hide I leave it behind as I write I can't let life push me by If I let it push me along My life wouldn't last too long Maybe just maybe I can travel back in time Change all mistakes In a flash Return to a life I wish I had Without parents is depressing Knowing I'm loved in some sort of way Takes my life away If only I can travel back in time Just to want that happy life

7 here is for expression of your struggle, assuming this is a true part of your life. My own poetry has little to do with my own life and struggle, but most people write what they live and feel and so this deserves a 7 and more for your youth and wisdom that really flows from the words you write in seedkin solutions. I Love this and your talent.

This is such a sad write-- I sure hope this isn't based on real life, but if it is, I sure hope that you find that strength among friends and other family members, Angela-- keep the faith -- nikko :)
