Nothing really matters until you are dead
Maybe I should have listened to what my friends and family said

Whenever I was around people I had to act all tough
And now that I look back that's what made my life so rough

It never mattered to me if what I was doing was right
But now my life is over it all ended in just one night

That night I was at a party with a bunch of my friends
There was no way I could have known my life was about to end

Someone got mad and decided to shoot off their gun
The bullet hit me and now my life is done

There is nothing I can do now except ask myself why
And tell you to turn your life around because you dont really want to die!

    Lauren

This is the first poem I've posted in awhile I guess I just didn't feel like my peoms were and good!

Lauren,
   Let me just tell you right now that your poems ARE good.   This was a great poem that was very well written about an important subject. Thank you for posting it.

Nicely written TopGunLauren ... I'm glad to see you back!  This is a sad tale that too often happens when in the heat of anger, a life is lost. It does contain a good message, nicely penned!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

What are ya talking about?! You write beautiful poetry. I like the unique style you use...through another persons eyes and about tough situations in a teen's life. I can never do that. My poetry is too emotional. That's why I am only inspired when I feel something different. The nice thing about yours, is that your inspired by anything around you and you can talk it and speak through a person's dead body. That's hard to do, but you do it well. Keep writing and sharing. Don't ever think anything you write isn't good enough. It's the touch you give it that makes your pieces grand!

A few more than two after all, huh?  I have to admit, this is the first of your work I’ve seen, but I like it.  I suggest you take a look in the mirror and ask yourself whom you see… Yourself or someone like you?
