stupid

poem that may tell about me

Stupid

Why didn’t I do it
Why don’t I care
Why are there tears
Amongst the tatters
Of my life lying
Under my bed
Standing in my stead
Is someone
Not a girl
Not me
Telling me to stop
And continue to be
To try and stop crying
To let the past go
To tell someone what happened
To make things right
“After all”, he said.
“Life is all a fight”
“A fight for you and who you are
And a fight for who you will
Become…A fight for those around you.”
My tears dried up
I turned around
And finally did my task
And now lying within my grasp
Is all I ever wanted.
