I see all these people
and I see all that they have done with thier lives
and how accoplished they are
I look at me
and all I see is how I am not good enough
all I see is a dagar before me
and plagirism always played from my lips
Liquid envy that comes out through what I think in my head, is respect....
but really I'm not sure
Trying to get through adolecence
Trying not to succum to human traits
Can you guess, maybe, jelously?
Clinging on, pretending that it will be a breeze, the rest of high school
If I just study hard..
If I just be more friendly
If I ignore, and choose when to hear and when not to hear
the screams of others
the screams of myself
Knowing the responces I will her from every therapist this side of the rock in the middle of my head,
"This isn't easy for anyone...
Growing up is difficult.
I understand what you are going through"
Well, I've heard all that before
That's not what I need to hear
Maybe I don't want to hear anything
No responce to my constant ramblings
Just a blank wall to reflect back to me my problems and angsts so I can repeat the cycle and hope I'll grow up soon and look back and laugh and laugh....

Joy, it's complicated isn't it, this life? And I won't say those platitudes, although some of them may be true.All you can do is keep on keeping on, and write, writing is a rare and beautiful part of life. I wish I had not ignored it for so many years. Take care.

JOY..Tough, isn't it?  What Cat said is true...you just gotta keep on keeping on.  The only way I survived was to set a goal...one single goal: To graduate High School.  Then each time I was faced with something, I asked myself, "Will this help or hurt me in reaching that goal?"  It helped to keep me focused....and I knew a specific date when it would happen, if I didn't let anything get in my way.  Might work for you...might not.  And..don't stop writing.  We'll be here to read it.  Hardrock

How difficult it truly is, and I wish I had different words of wisdom to share that maybe you haven't already heard..but do keep setting those goals, and I agree keep writing, don't give up, we all care here at DP...Look forward to more of your poems, I really do!!
