What Do You Do

What do you do when nothing feels right Do you do nothing, or do you fight How can you be happy when it feels wrong And you drown your emotions in a song What do you do when you feel alone When it seems everyone else is on a throne How do they have kings, queens, and friends When you see the world through a telescope lens What do you do when your are trapped in yourself When you put your feelings on too high a shelf You can’t reach them, so you are bitter and cold Everyone else seems plated in gold What do you do when you want to die Tears in your eyes looking up to the sky Wondering what you could have changed How you got to be so deranged What do you do when you want to live When you simply have nothing to give Please someone tell me, I don’t care who But I need to know, what do you do

You keep on fighting as tough as it may be. I know it sounds cliche but we have to believe things will get better. I really liked your poem. It's thought provoking and really well written. A fav.

Thank you. Some things are cliche for a reason, most of the time its because they work, and I'm glad you liked the poem.
