A teenage struggle

by Brittany   May 21, 2005


Day and night,
tears fall from my eyes,
because of this thing called life,
and I fell like I want to die,

everyday is a battle,
with pressure from my peers,
all this drama leads to,
eyes full of tears,

there’s my friends at school,
who tell me what to do,
pressuring me to do things,
even when I don’t want to,

but since I’m not strong,
I sit there and take it,
trying to fake a smile,
thinking it’s as good as it gets,

then there’s that boy,
the one I’m scared to talk to,
because I think I’m not good enough,
and I’d never be some one he’s into,

but there’s my best friend,
kissing all over him,
I no she knows I like him,
but I hold it all in,

then there’s that girl,
the one I want desperately to be like,
she’s so popular and pretty,
and she’s every guy’s type,

then there’s my family,
who never seems to care,
and when I need them most,
there never even there,

looking at that girl in the mirror,
the one l I never want to see again,
I start to cry as I look at my reflection,
wishing I could start my life all over again,

I look at the knife on the table,
the one thing that can take away my pain,
a smile crosses my face,
but I let the knife remain,

why did I stop?
There’s nothing to live for,
why wont I grab it,
and run out the door?

Then I think of that one person,
the one who loves me more than anything,
God wouldn’t want me to do that,
then I think there’s a reason for everything,

I wont let them win,
the people who want to see me fall,
I’ll live my life knowing,
I did the best I could after all.
