&quot;It is not easy to be different, and less so to be unique. But I begin to think I was never meant for an easy road.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare Page 537


I once thought I could live forever young
Spend my life looking up into the clouds
Finding the shapes I lived for

I once thought nothing could happen
I was happy
And everyone was healthy

I once thought I could live forever young
Spend my years chasing my dreams
Helping the people I love

I once though I was happy
I would get cuts and scrapes
But I would get up and move on

Now I know the truth
I’m not ten anymore
My life crashed in a heart beat

Cuts and scrapes can’t compare to any of this
Cuts and scrapes are loved
Because I know they will go away

I once thought I would live forever young
Not as a vampire or something
But as me

Now I know the truth
I will not live forever

I will not see every shape form of the clouds
I will not find the answer to all the mysteries of why this happened
I will never be anything but me

I will not live forever
But I will set legacies
Leave behind a path less followed

One day I will be gone
But I hope you will remember.

This is one poem I think everyone can relate to no matter what your situation is. It can be interpreted many ways and fit to many situations. This is personal to me, in a way, and I hope you can relate.
