"I have never started a poem whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering." -Robert Frost


Hearts turn black and blue

People contantly feeling used

Life isn’t always as it seems,

where the sun always beams;

when the clouds comfort your dreams


Life is incredibly tough,

and people will always say you’re not enough

The paths and directions are rough;

so very, horribly, rough


Sometimes life messes with your head,

and you wish it would all just end

With the simple help of a friend,

you start to want to remain instead


Remaining.

Staying.

Waiting.


Wait for life to bring ease

Stay here so you start to believe

Waiting to finally feel relief

It’s all worth it trust me


Trust me and believe that the scars;

the scars only make beautiful stars

We are so lucky to call this life ours

Don’t hide behind metal bars

Don’t go stealing people’s cars

Don’t waste away for something that was….


Because.

Because.

Because.


You will never learn,

what your heart yearns,

what you truly deserve,

and what you earned

Life shouldn’t be something that just burns;

over someone’s simple words
