Sometimes we get discouraged,
Sometimes we feel like a failure,
That we aren't good enough
For anyone, or that we don't
Have any purpose in the world,
That lack and limitations
Do exist.
Thoughts like these
We need to quit thinking,
For if we continually get emotionally involved
With these kinds of thoughts,
They will become the reality
That we don't want.
And we wonder why
We keep creating...

I know what you're thinking.
When you go through a setback
Such as losing a friend,
Breaking up with a significant other,
Or maybe you're having trouble
Going after what you want,
Going after your dreams.
You hear that cold, negative voice
Telling you that you can't have it,
That you can't do it,
That you're not meant
To do something big with your life,
That you'll never be good enough
For...

I don't know why it upset me.
I don't know why it angered me.
I don't know why I felt something in me snap.
I didn't know this girl,
Nor did I take the chance
To see if she was doing okay.
Though, by looking at her face,
From where I was sitting at in the library,
I could tell that she most likely wasn't.
And it wasn't just an expression.
Her face was badly bruised.

This poem differs from all the others I've been writing. This one I don't really include a message to be learned from, but more like my own experience of how my high school crush never came to be, and I'm sure some can relate to this. This is written in the eyes of how I saw this experience back in high school.
I wonder how things would be different
If maybe I just told her
How I felt about her
All those years ago.
In the beginning
When I...

Stop me if you've heard this:
You make plans with someone,
You ask if they can show up,
They say "Yeah for sure,"
Or "Maybe, I'll get back to you."
Then, on the day of
Whatever it is you plan
To do with that person,
Whether it'd be hanging out,
Or maybe going out
To an event or even a movie,
They don't get back to you.
Or they will send you a text last minute
Telling you he/she can't make...

Getting offended.
It's where everyone is
Getting so butthurt
Over almost every little thing,
Whether it'd be over people,
Or even something
As controversial as politics.
Then, when someone gets offended,
They have to whine and cry
Like someone killed their dog,
And act like entitled little bitches
That are entitled to every little thing.
The easily offended
Are the easily manipulated....

It's been over 3 months now ever since what happened with him...
It's been difficult...it really has been. I know that I have to live with the choice I made for the rest of my life, but I keep wondering...
What if there comes a time where he just calls me out of the blue and wants me back as his friend?
I've played that scenario many times in my head, both what it would look like over the phone, or if he saw me in person and sought the opportunity to...

I'm sure we've all felt this way
At some point in our life.
Sometimes, it can be
The little things
That just blows a fuse in us,
And causes us
To react out of emotion.
It could be something we read,
It could be something we heard,
From someone who we came across
Either in person or on social media,
It could be something we witnessed,
It could be something so small
Such as a missed ride,...

Suicide...
The one thing that today's youth
Struggles with the most,
And happens more often
Than most can ever imagine.
People often misjudge these individuals,
Labeling them as "out of their mind"
And at the same time,
The people condemn them
For thinking such thoughts.
But have people ever really bothered
To set aside their incompetent ignorance,
And actually really learn

Tragedies.
The news covers so much
Of this, and eventually,
It's all over the Internet,
It's all over social media.
People get all emotional
And sympathetic,
And times like these is
When everyone comes together
And shares their love and compassion
Towards one another.
Not bashing on any of this
As it's always moving
To see people show sympathy
Towards one another
And showing...
