Poems from the Heart.

Hanging On

Hanging On

Life gets hard for me sometimes

And I don't know what to say

But, soon, I'll be happier

And I'll actually have a great day

I haven't made the best grades

Something my parents don't like

I haven't acomplished things they want

I never learned to even ride a bike

I do other things, though

Things nobody seems to see

So, I try to keep hanging on

Because, I still haven't found me

Looking into the hourglass

You'll see nothing but sand

Looking into the mirror once more

Something I don't understand

This face doesn't explain me

Bags under the eyes

I don't want to be tired

When I sleep hours before I rise

This face I don't see as myself

A smirk instead of a smile

One cheek much too tired to rise

Not wiling to go the extra mile

I sigh and look away

Tired of looking at grain

They just don't seem to understand

What all I have gained

I have alot of things

Hidden inside these depths

The depths of nothing but skin and bone

My soul not grasped yet by death

I don't understand

Is this who I'll be?

Forever a torn, unappreciated girl

Waiting to find the inside of me

Because, that's what I feel like

When I think about what all I know

But, I'll just keep hanging on

Until this hail slowly turns to snow

Some people may not understand, but always hang on, and never do anything until you're sure of who you are and who you want to be. Tell them who you are, who ever they may be, and if they don't understand either, then don't hang on to them.

Instead, hang on to your heart, your soul, and your mind. Those get you somewhere, when those misunderstanding, unappreciating people yet to find themselves just don't.

My heart doesn't belong to anybody. But, I know somebody who's always going to be a peice of it. My friend, Megan, for getting me through when I really wanted to give up. She's my best friend, even more than that, and I don't know what I'd do without her. When I needed something to hang on to, she through her hand down for me to catch.

Thankyou Meggo, I hope you get well soon.
