Abby Frasure Poet Rhyme

I Want To Live

I want to go with a group of friends on a quest
Find the wonders this world has to give
Instead I’m in homeroom taking a test
On a life someone else went out and lived 

While I am not able to live my own
What's the point in life if you aren’t guaranteed to enjoy it
Everyone’s face is in their phone 
While a sunrise has the outside lit

There was a time I wanted to die
I feared I no longer had a reason to be here
But that was all a lie
Because dying was never the intent of my fear

My fright came from the thought of not finding something to love
But I have fallen for sunrises and skyscrapers
Beautiful waterfalls and elegant white doves 
And amusement parks filled with screams of joy from the children on the roller coaster

I Never Wanted To Die I Just Didn’t Know How To Live
