I Am a 15 Year Old In a 20 Year Old Lifestyle

I am a 15-year-old going through a 20-year-old lifestyle
I wonder why do bad things happen to good people
I hear crying 
I see tears
I want answers to questions
I am a 15-year old going through a 20-year-old lifestyle
	
I pretend to be ok
I feel dead
I touch his tears
I worry it will be the last time I see him 
I cry when he cries
I am going through a 20-year-old lifestyle

I understand that it will only make us stronger
I say it’s going to be ok
I dream that it will be ok
I try to be strong for him
I hope everything can go back to normal
I am a 15-year old going through a 20-year-old lifestyle

Sorry Not Sorry

This is just to say
I’m sorry for 
loving him
Forgive me

It’s so hard to
leave him be
I love him
his smile makes 
me so happy

He makes me 
Feel loved
I’m happy again

A Students Loathing of Depression

I hate the way you come in
                        I hate the way you take over my life
                 The way you walk through my doors uninvited
                        You have taken everything important
                             I hate the way you come in
                
                               You make me lose people
                            I thought id never lose before
                          You make me feel like someones
                           Ripping me from the inside out
                        You have done nothing good for me

                     You chase me like a shark chases a fish
             You make me wanna crawl and hide from everything
             Somedays you make me wanna dig my own grave
                   I’m scared you won’t ever leave my side
                      You go into others lives unwanted

                       You take loved ones to the end
                 You make people disappear from the earth
                          With just a snap of a finger
                                Your the unwanted 
                                 Your the devil
