Not smiling anymore,
My hearts torn apart.
I can't face reality,
I'd rather be in the dark.
Not making people around me happy,
It's killing me to know.
Ihave let so much slip away from me,
I don't want to let you go.
I tell myself don't think like that,
I tell myself to be true.
I have given up on everything,
And still don't know what to do.
I tell myself don't act like this,
But all my dreams have been shattered.
All because of my stupidity,
I've been beaten up and battered.
the poem is almost brutally honest
. . . and was an emotionally difficult, but poetically pleasing, experience. Like I said earlier, I wish I had been as good as you are when I was your age.
