This isn't exactly a poem..but it is something that I wrote during my geometry class...so just read it and tell me what you think
What is the remedy to sorrow? It all started when I was small, and used to think everything was just so easy and simple. But it wasn't. When I grew up i started to realize boys weren't gross...and girls didn't rule the world. And I wasn't going to love everything forever. And barney wasn't fun. And I wasn't the cutest thing ever. I was so wrong. But then again I was young. You know how it is when your young...you have this plan in your head to become a world famous doctor as soon as your old enough. And your parents telling you that you can be anything you dream of if you just dream it. When you grow up you start to realize kisses don't mean commitment, and friendship doesn't mean forever, and wishes don't always come true no matter how many pennies you throw into a fountain, how many stars you wish on, how many frogs you kiss, how many prayers you say, or how many wishes you make at 11:11, well...wish in one hand and cry in the other one. See which one fills up faster. You begin to learn while your growing up that magic wishes and prince charmings only happen in story books. You begin to realize that even forever isn't long enough. You also begin to learn that you can be whatever you want to be, but you also learn you have to work your ass off for it. But the most difficult part of growing up is learning how to let go...even when it hurts...especially if it hurts. And you also learn that it's not important to have a million friends...that having 4 real friends is better then having a million fake ones. The ones who switched dancing partners in gym with you in 4th grade because you didn't want to be caught dancing with Nasty Nick. The ones who went to go ask Nasty Nick to dance with you on the gradation dance in 8th grade so you wouldn't be embarrassed if he said no...You look back on it all and you think "Ew...I liked him?". " I can't believe I was friends with her", "I can't believe I dated him" , "remember whens", laugh till you cries, and you never really achieved your dreams of becoming a favorite singer of yours but thats OK because you still have your friends and your life and health and when your older you learn that that's really all you need. You realize that not everyone you thought was going to be there forever, is actually going to be there forever. Most people would call my life a comedy, some would call it a tragedy, in my mind, it's a little of both, because you see, Most people learn the idea of being unhappy... I crashed into it. A lot of beautiful things ended...but ending brings new beginnings and thats what I'm grateful for. I'm not an unhappy person. I don't consider my glass half empty ...or half full...i consider it bottomless, my life fills up with happy moments, with hope, with dreams, but then it floods out, and drowns me in my sorrow of realizing that no one wants a broken glass.. So what Is the cure to sorrow? The answer...Is more sorrow. To completely hit that dark rock bottom you've heard so much about. Because In the dark, theres fear, sadness, and hope. Rock bottom is everything out of focus. But it's also the only position you can be in, where the only choice of direction...is up.
