Life

Grade school, high school, college n university, Our lives were laid out for us to succeed. Decisions, decisions, Will i make the right choice? I could ask for guidance, will they hear my voice. My life started out on the right path, Tho the positive things sure didn't last. Never made a team n struggled with my grades, Would have switched places if they were willing to trade At recess I sat alone under the big maple tree The girls and boys just laughed an talked about me Always the last one to be picked for a team Why did they have to be so cruel and mean. Can't say I ever had a good day, not even one So i said "screw this" n began to run. Responsibilities were gone, i no longer cared, My family n loved ones just stood there n stared. Self medicated, doctors, hell even a shrink There is no fixing me despite what you think Just wanted to feel better, whole n complete Nothing i tried gave me any relief. The days turned into weeks, months into years Would anyone even notice if I just disappeared. Life never changes no matter how hard I try So what's the point I ask, as I sit here cry.

It is difficult sometimes. Many people feel like how you describe. Maybe write more poetry and tum things into a positive. A good poem.
