Is it sad I’d rather die than see where this goes? It is sad I’d rather cry than allow this to compose? I know it’s sad when people say life is short But it’s even worse that I wish mine, were different I feel like I’m at my last resort. So many tell me to sit and figure it out But then a bunch more say it’s better to let go of doubt “Don’t worry, be happy” Been said before Sounds great and all, but easier said than done How do you all let go of your dreams? Is it just that easy for you? Life isn’t what it seems…(yeah I know) But why can’t it be the truth? Forever is impossible to reach,  I’m coming to terms with fact But in fact maybe I can find that place Above all the stress and worry that is my life Somewhere else would easily suffice   Somewhere outside of my head Somewhere from before I was three A place where my thoughts, my heart, and my future were free Now I’m trapped Confused is the better term Totally lost is more appropriate, actually I can’t even tell you how to explain it all factually I wish there was a time I remember when I didn’t feel this way Ask me, Ask me the last time I was happy I wouldn’t know what to say These have to be my darkest ages If I’m mistaken just count me out I’d rather it not get much worse than this Pathetic but sometimes I wish I had an excuse To feel so dead Hoping for a reason to drag on (this way) Hanging by a thread

My first poem, second semester of college. Not my best. But I wanted to get it out.
