My life couldn't get much worse.

Well, I'm not with the girl I thought I would be. I found the perfect one that doesn't care about my money or my popularity but I can't be with her. She is the only one that seems to calms me down. I have tried to work through some of my problems but they get worse. I found out today that my cerebral aneurysm is getting worse. That sucks. I'm only 18 and I already have to worry about death. The shrink I see told me to take up poetry because it will help reduce the stress. I don't know if it is helping but I have only posted two poems on this forum. I write most of them in my notebook or on the back of my automotive homework. Does poetry help any of you? Is my shrink right when she says poetry helps? Or am I just wasting my time? What should I do?

Considering that your not starving, working for your family in a factory while they whip you or being forced to marry a terrible person, I'd say you have a rather nice life compared to 50% of the world.

babe
live life to the fullest
i mean we are living therefore dying,
its the truth
just live while you can

Keep writing man. I write all the time whenever I feel stressed or anything out of the ordinarry. It really helps me. Sometimes, you can also just get than urgh to write something, just write it all down.

I guess you guys are right. Well take it easy. I got stuff to do. Bye till tomorrow.

Writing poetry helps a lot of people...it's not for everyone, but definitely worth a try. It can be great as a release...take care :)
