In an upside-down garden

Trouble's been my problem,
since the day I was born.
All my life I've escaped it,
so my heart is worn.
I guess you could say I'm a schemer,
just a person trying to beat life.
And sometimes I hyperventilate,
over the stress and the strife.
But now I'm in a corner,
and I have no idea what to do.
While one way could help me,
another could hurt you.

****************************************************

Umm, well, help me!!!

umm, my friend is in trouble because she did something wrong, and a person is gonna tell on her adn I have to fix this before she gets in way over her head because she's never been in trouble before and she'll die if she gets in trouble.


Don't wander throught this glassy surface, expecting to find more than me, because what I am without a purpose, but a lone mirage to see.

I'm always one to tell the truth.  I guess you didn't give any specifics so I don't know how to help.  Most people usually disagree with whatever I say anyway, so it probably wouldn't help for me to give advice.  The poem you've written for this situation is very well done though!

This is kinda hard giving you advice here. Just because I don't really know what is going on. I'm hopeing you were exagerating over the she'll die thing if she gets in trouble. But all I can say is that, well there isn't really much you can do for her. She made the mistake, and if she gets ratted on, then thats her problem not yours, but you can be there for her through it and try and help her. If someone decided that they should tell someone about what she did, then you can't really change their mind. I know it sucks seeing a friend go through things like this, but it's a part of life where people learn from their mistakes, and this is part of her learning. So it's mainly up to you what to do, I can't make the decision for you. Just do what you think you have to do, and follow your heart. I hope everything works out.   smiles ¤poe¤

You sure got your feelings across in this poem Allysa ... now take a deep breath (don't hyperventilate). You can't "fix" other people's problems hon. If your friend got herself into this ... your friend is going to have to get herself out of this ... she's going to have to fess up and be honest.

As Poe and Lakewalker said (now see? I agree with you Lakewalker, LOL), without specifics, all we "can" give is generic advice, but the best advice without knowing the detail, is for your friend to tell the truth. Maybe she'll be a little more careful next time?

Best wishes and good luck,
/Kit

Everyone makes mistakes, my kindergarten teacher used to tell me that if I had a belly button, I could make a mistake... so there! But if she did wrong, she'll have to deal with the consequences, unfortunately.
But I'm sure she'll make it through.
Good luck, nice writing!

Without knowing the details of the situation, all I can suggest is to face up to it and learn from the experience. Better to get it all out in the open than to bury it somewhere and have it surface later to haunt you. (her)

Allysa~
If I were your friend I would tell my parents before they find out from someone else...It would be alot easier that way...But that could be more difficult...I dont know what else to say...What ever she did there are people out there who have done things alot worse then that...
