Array ( [sid] => 90618 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Freshman [time] => 2005-04-11 11:15:57 [hometext] => this poem just came to me, i began writing and this is what came out. im not sure about it though, what do you think? [bodytext] => And so I enter high school
Ready for a new start
Yet all that I have been through
Has only torn me apart
People saying it will get better
After it gets worse
But the bad continues to incline
This feeling is my curse
At only the age of fifteen
My dear friend passed away
And how I wished it were me
That had died that day
Depression soon befell on me
Consumed in darkness I was
And soon enough things got worse
I fell completely and madly in love
Crying just to get by
I began to hurt myself
It seemed to be the only way
To rid me of the pain I felt
Lost and alone am I
In such a ruthless world
The innocent can never last
But I’m a guilty girl
My parents forbid me of my love
But I neglected them
I went behind their backs
And still went out with him
And then again my life turns bad
My heart broken in two
He left me without looking back
Leaving me alone and confused
Like a child left on the street
I sat on the side to wait
I needed someone to save me
But I had pushed everyone away
But I have learned to cope for now
I have to learn to understand
I still have three more years to go
I’m still just a freshman

Freshman

I've been in a similar situation, You do learn to go on as rough as it is. Don't think you'll ever forget, you won't, but the pain eases and you find you can face another day. One day at a time. Shey

Jennie, your inimitable style is here but I have to admit I was... what... disturbed by:

I began to hurt myself
It seemed to be the only way
To rid me of the pain I felt

Yeah, I know, for someone (i.e. me) whose entries aren't about life affirmation, I should hardly talk... but (and there's always a but :) it hurt to read that. I dunno what else to say (as I stare at the keyboard that has fallen quiet). Well, I never suffered the loss you did, so I can't know and anything else would sound trite. Heal, my friend.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
