its hard being young.
not being a baby but being a teen.
its sometimes hard to get through high school.
but i promise you it gets better.
I went through depression i lost my way of who i was.
i stopped painting because i was losing parts of myself.
my poems became only about sorrow and not the light at the end of the tunnel.
but my love picked up my broken pieces.
he led me back to myself.
he made things better.
along your years you will lose friendships that were dear to you.
but it gets better.
for when that old friendship dies another is born.
this new friendship is much stronger.
you begin to realize that the old was not the right one.
boyfriends come and go.
but hear me my dear it gets better.
for i was in pain after my last relationship.
i thought it was meant to be i thought it was love.
i dealt with him but i did not love him.
i cared for him but much more than he cared for.
now though i have found love.
someone who i know its meant to be with.
i don't just deal with him because in my eyes he is perfect.
that girl she calls you names.
she tears you down and tells you that you are ignorant and ugly.
yet i still promise you lovely it gets better
he cheated on me with her.
i lowered myself and put her on a pedestal.
now my love shows me i am beautiful.
her words do not hold me back anymore.
i rip down that pedestal because she does not deserve to be in that place.
being young is hard…plain and simple.
going through high school is a journey full of tears and heart break and bullies.
but after all the bad God gives you good.
we all go through pain because when we are finally happy we appreciate more.
depression is terrible.
but now i have the best friend in the whole world and the love of my life.
now i look back and i wouldn't change one thing of what happened.
because i know my depression led to these wonderful people.
when life is rough and hard do not give in to the heart breakers and the bullies.
because darling i have seen with my own heart and eyes time heals everything and it gets better.
