I have this game that I like to play,
The goal is to try to see if I can live another day.
If I do, then I'll move on.
If I don't, then my life is gone.
It's really fun, so you should try.
Cus everyday is a big surprise.
I bet you can't find, reasons why,
everyday, why you should survive.
I look around and what do I see?
Plague, Death, Sin, and Miseries.
Then I look at myself because I don't know,
Is it fair for me to be happy in this world?
So, then why must I even try,
I should close my eyes and say Good-Bye.
But if I do, then it will be a shame,
Cus there won't be anyone left to play my game.

Great poem.  I think happiness starts with you.  You can't make others happy if you aren't happy yourself.  Keep up the good work.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

This is a good poem with lots of emotion in it.  i certainly hope you can find something to smile about everyday, there are so many great things in the world.  anyway, i hope things get better.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This poem could mean a lot of things. Whatever it means I know it was written well. However it's boderline talking about suicide...and that's just not good around here. I hope things get better for you and luck flies your way.

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This poem is filled with emotion.  I really hope you don't feel this way now, and if you do, then seek professional help.
The poem is very good.  I really feel the pain that you portray.  Very nice work.
