I just wrote this one tonight, about 10 minutes ago.  I guess I'm finally starting to realize that life isn't as bad as I often try to think that it is...  From now on, hopefully I can stay optimistic about life and not get into my own trap.  


WHY?

Why am I always sad?
Oh how I wish I knew
My life is always great
But in my head that's not true

Why am I always blue?
I wish I could tell you why
Some days I want to stay in bed
Some days I just want to cry

Why is everybody so happy?
I wish my life was as good as theirs
I hide my hurt inside of me
So noone stops and noone cares

Why is everyone so fake?
I wish I could say I had a best friend
So many say that they love me
But nobody gives a dang in the end

Why is it that I can't see?
I wish I knew my life was great
I guess I'm just too dumb to tell
I can't seem to get that straight

Why is it that life is perfect?
I wish I saw all this love
So many people care about me
Life's awesome when I rise above

I guess I just can get depressed
And don't realize how great life is
I'm so glad I finally see
Mine's as good as hers or his


*By the way, this has nothing to do with anything...  But how old are you all here?  I just feel like you all are like way older than me, and I'm just interested to find out if you really are...*

I liked the poem....looks like things are running good for you.
I'm 18

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

It's nice to see that you've learned to look at the good things in life and ot complain about what you don't have.  Beautiful write.  keep it up

So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.
