Array ( [sid] => 92594 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Story Of My Life [time] => 2005-04-28 16:20:58 [hometext] => just a little poem about how much life sucks... the worst of my life is basically that I'm madly in love with this girl I don't want to like to the point of cutting, which I also hate. and I'm 13 years old. There's more, but who cares? please do comment [bodytext] => I actually haven't cut in awhile, but...


Every day It's the same
As I play the game of life
I give up trying to win
And try to minimze the strife
I follow the motions
I do what I must
I try to have fun
I really do, It's just
How can I live
Meaningfully
Thinking about you
And hating me
I love you so much
If only you knew
I'm too young for this
But I'm ready, are you?
Why must this happen?
Why happen to me?
Why must I cut?
Why can't I be free?
At the end of the day
I crawl in my bed
I stare at my wrist
Throbbing ache in my head
As day becomes night
And night becomes day
And day become torture
I watch my life waste away
The story of my life
Craving what I'm missing
While I'm too busy trying
To get too busy living [comments] => 10 [counter] => 240 [topic] => 65 [informant] => high_on_duct_tape [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 17 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

That's such a sad poem. I'm 16. I can relate to it well. You shouldn't cut because of someone. I did one time, when he found out, he said I shouldn't cut if I care about him. I made him a promise to never cut. Look to the positive things in life, and you may feel better :D Jenny

I read this poem ........ I really don't understand it except you are a victim of unrequited love. ????? I don't see the structure of this poem ...it's more like a cry for help with one liners. I sincerely think you ought to see a therapist if you are looking at your life so bleak at such a young age. You really must let go this obsession with this girl and then you can live. It's really unhealthy because I knew a boy just a few years older than you ,who like you, fixated on someone to the extent he took his own life. Problem is ....he called 911 when he changed his mind but it was too late. You started out in an attempt at rhyme and dropped in to a sort of prose. Me ...? I'm not a poet nor a critic but I know what i like to see in a poem ...... Read Lord Byron, When We two Parted if you want to read an eloquent write of lost love .....pay attention to the last lines and see how it ties in with the beginning. I could never achieve that ......but I'm not byron and neither are you. Try writing about fields, flowers, streams and the clouds ....... it's will make you happy.

I have to agree with legend..... You are too young to waste your life away.... actually at any age....a life is not worth taking over anyone.... Jenni
