Better Life

Better Life

I am happy for myself, life is better than the past, I want life to go by slow, but I grew up way too fast, I will always come in first, I will never come in last, I’m successful in my life, I won’t hide behind the mask. All the bad things in my past, I am doing better now, I have changed so very much, I am asking myself how? I’ve accomplished many things, making everybody proud, if you’ve seen how much I’ve changed, I just know you would be wowed. I am doing so much better, doing well and doing good, no more cutting on my arms, no more pulling up my hood, there’s a fire in my soul, but my heart is made of wood, everything is clearer now, everything is understood. I’m the king of my own world, I am living the good life, maybe one day in the future, maybe I will have a wife, I will never need a gun, but I’d love to use a knife, I don’t want to kill myself, I just want to end my strife.

Darren White June 29, 2017 at 3:34 AM Hi Maxwell, I have read a few of your rhymes (that's what they are) You have a good rhythm, and I hear you, your message is clear. You know what would make it even better? If you would not type everything in one block, but arrange it in lines, for easier reading. Just a suggestion :) Welcome to PoetrySoup.
