I used to be a good kid.
A good son.
A good person.

I used to be very happy,
Very content,
Very fortunate.

I used to be quite respectable,
Quite upstanding,
Quite proud.

I am now, a pathetic, young adult.
An abandoned child,
A battered soul.

I am now, beyond anger,
Beyond depression,
Beyond fortune.

I am now, extremely irresponsible,
Extremely paranoid,
Extremely ashamed…

But why must it end there?
Why can not it change yet again?
Soon, I will be better than I am now, or ever was.

(Pardon this expression of emotion if it does not reach you, but it’s here for a reason, I assure you. If it means nothing to you, discard it from your mind as if it were your computer’s recycle bin. But for those who relate to it, I hope you see my point;

Life is built on not one, not two, but an infinite amount of cycles that rebirth themselves, and spawn entirely new ones. This happens to you everyday, but you’re too caught up in your work or school life to ever notice it. If you slow down enough, and gaze upon your life, like a bed of stars, you will see how truly beautiful, your life is. But much like clouds, daily routines can act like a haze, making it impossible see yourself, but you must remember that even the thickest of fogs eventually fade away, but the stars will ALWAYS be there.)

Well, hello, Hippie_teen. I do not
see why anyone would heed an explanation
of this poem. Life is just an ever
changing battle with fun and misery each
to come in time -----

Wonderful poem, I really enjoyed it. It
was well written and needed no explanation

Hey hip i'm hip to this one. This was a great read, and the after comments too.
I can say so much about my life in comparison to this poem and your comments.
But I won't bore you with the details.
Great job.... keep them coming.
