The Life of Problems

 

I have a problem

        I have a problem

 

I don’t care what my

parents think of me

        I care too much about

        what my parents think

 

I have a problem of cuts

that lay across my skin

        I have a problem

        thinking I’m not good enough

 

I use to try but now i

can’t seem to care

        I have to keep trying

        they need to be proud

 

I had to watch

everyone leave me

        I had to watch people

        worry about me

 

I saw them the other day

        I saw them the other day

 

They yelled at me

        They left at me

 

I cared what

they thought

        I couldn’t care

        anymore

I was scared they

were disappointed

        They never came back

        and I hardened

 

I thought I didn’t care

        I thought I cared

 

Now I think I’m

not good enough

        Now cuts litter

        across my skin

 

I don’t like

what i see

        I don’t like

        what I see

 

I’m Done

        I’m Done

 

They walked away finally

        They came back

 

I stood on a chair with

a rope around my neck

        I saw the love in their

        eyes again

 

I stepped off to hang to

my death bed in peace

        I felt at peace

        just then

 

I smiled for the first

time in years

        I smiled for the

        first time in years

 

They lay me six feet

under and only one cared

        They laid her six feet

        under only i cared

Now that I’m gone people

are starting to care about me

        I saw people pretending

        to care for my friend

 

It hurt that I saw her in pain

and others being fake

        I saw that she was gone

        and what she left

 

I said my last goodbye

in a letter to a dear friend

and told her to live forever

        She gave me a letter

        telling me to live

        so i said goodbye

 

I had a problem

        I had a problem
