Writing inbetween the lines of life and infinity

you ponder endlessly

about possibility

and what it means for you and me

you try so hard to find the beauty you've been looking for all your life

but cannot seem to realize when reality has let you down

still maybe when we die we'll help the flowers grow

or maybe when we die the sun wont shine

and our graves will be covered in snow

but either way i'm sorry that you try so hard for hopeless answers

so much wasted time

we might aswell be dead

Wow, the words really take it to heart. I love the figurative language, and the poem really flows well. You seem to actually talk to me, and that really strikes me as special. It's a wonder a teen could write like this. I salute you.
