In a fight for her life A young girl struggles on Trying to keep the faith Yet leaving love behind Keeping herself from others As so many now do Locked up in her dark room She tries to take her life So many times Have I felt this way Escaping all end By a mear fragment of hope Staying alive physically Yet, mentally, Already gone Away from hope Life has a way Of changing all that's real Taking all that keeps us here And leaving us with nothing That day, I did not succeed And it's probably good I didn't I've learned life's lessons In all I've done since then And before I tried to take my life I lost all I had left Seven friends dead in a car accident And without dreams, I surrendered Please don't let the shadows Break across my heart Go on living, when all is lost Hope, Alicia A.

This was me at 13, and the shadows tried to break across my heart and steal my words, Now at 49, I find my way into the sunlight, and the years in between not wasted for it is flowing now.... Let the sun shine through your poetry. Kathleen |

This was a very beautiful poem. Its funny how sometimes a devestating thing in life can either break you or make you. In this case it did both. I am so glad that the "young girl" then, did not succeed but rather found strength. I myself have had a really bad life and what I have learned from it, is how to be strong and that indeed THERE ARE BETTER DAYS AHEAD. Thanks for sharing! |

When I was 15 or so, I swam so far from shore it was a thin line I was going down I tried to make certain of this, but the higher powers had something else in mind, an old fisherman with a boat from nowhere pulled me out, like this young girl she to has purpose. Joel Good work here. |

Guys, this is probably going to shock you, but I'm only 15. I just realized that life is more important, and good things will eventually happen. I still have way too many years to be so depressed. Thanks for sharing your stories with me though. Hope, Alicia A. Renzelman |
