Yes well this is not such a good poem in my eyes. I am just putting it here because ALL these poems you have seen are from my 3rd Batch collection. Poems that I wrote as a 9th grade. I am a senior now...much better writer , but im not letting you see the new ones yet (4th wave..10th...5th cycle..11th....6th round...NOW).....because i want you to appreciate my early stylez and then i'll flow you all into my new pieces of work. But this one is depressing, a subject i havent yet toked into. Here you go:


The Only Way:


I try to help, I try to see
I try to do, and I try to be.
Yet what can I be with my future unknown,
With no direction or sign to be shown.

I'm the "thing" in "nothing"
and "no" are the answers I get.
What's the point of living or dying?
It's all a loose loose bet.

I give up helping, I give up seeing
I give up doing, and I give up being.
All I'm going to do is sit in my chair
Because I hate the fact that life isn't fair.

So here I lay till the end of it all.
Ever since I was born I started my fall
Till I reached the hour of this awful day.
To be dying in my chair is the only way.






I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Wow. You may not believe that was good, but it was. You don't seem like the humble type, so maybe you really don't like it! But congrats.. good job. How old are you? Senior in high school? or college? Well, again well done.

This was a pretty nice piece. I like the style you put into it, very nice. Journalism eh? That's my major in a few years!   Good luck!

Hey Dopey! I like this, it's really true. It kinda describes how I feel, but I didn't realize that until I read this. Anyhow, I like this, can't wait to read more. Whatever.

this was really written with emotion...anyway i think so...i am a 9th grader now and i basically relate to everything in your poem..keep coming with old poems..

"Serve the servants- oh no.
That legendary divorce is such a bore" "i'm on warm milk and laxatives/cherry-flavored antacids"

While I enjoyed your poem, I did not enjoy your disparaging comments to my quote on Virgin Suicide's poem. You always seem to find someth9ing negative with everything possible. If there's ever a shot for you to take on someone, you do. I have been nice to you and said nice things about your talent also. Why you would sit there and say the things to me that you did is beyond me and angers me a lot!! You have no place to say anything about me or anything having to do with me. I do want you to know that your frequently opinionated comments are always frowned upon because they are so negative. In the future...keep your mouth shut!!< !signature-->
