An old poem I wrote.

[dilated_pupils]

I found this while looking at some of my old poems and thought it was odd that I felt such ways at such a young age already, I was only 16 at the time, but I think it's pretty good and wish to share. All thoughts welcome.

Titled "Gotta Love Life"

Why do I have to do this to myself?
Maybe to set the depression off it's course,
Or maybe just because I don't want to remember anymore.

I gave up a long time ago,
And ever since then it's been hell.
For all of those who saw what I've been going through,
And did not give two shits about it, well Fuck You.

I always give, way more than I receive.
I'm always lied too, way more then I deceive.
I see myself as an average kid,
Until I think about all the shit I did.

I'm not drug addict or some kind of alcoholic.
I just do what sounds fun and makes me forget all about it.
Last night could be months ago,
Since everything blends in together it's really hard to remember.

I didn't ask for much,
Just enough to get by.
Well maybe more, we don't really see eye to eye.

It's honesty shines through and really got to me. What you did in that piece was just lay yourself bare and make it sound presentable. Sure, it's not perfect, but what is nowadays? Thank you for sharing that with us.

Thanks for kind words. Yeah I know it's not perfect, it was just me expressing myself when I was teenager. It's nice that I saved all of my writings as I grew up. I always find something every once in a while that just sticks out right away, and this was one of them.
