A/N: This is dedicated to one of the first people to read my book. I'm talking about you, @cutecittycat Thank you for all your support. This is one of your poems that I really liked.
------
What if nobody likes me?
What if I don't succeed?
What if I give it all that I've got,
And I still don't have what they need?
What if I don't get anywhere at all?
Will I consider myself a failure?
Will I be that small?
What if he doesn't like me?
What if I'm not his type?
What if all the boys that ever like me,
Are not the kind of boys that I like?
What if I meet the right one and screw it up?
Will I consider myself a failure?
Will I give up?
And what if they don't like me?
What if they think I'm a joke?
What if they act nice to my face,
And they hate me on the low?
What if they end up stabbing me in the back?
Will I consider myself a failure?
Or will I fight back?
I am going to keep trying.
Getting denied just makes me want it more.
I'll keep trying and each time,
Push harder then before.
I can't live my life always worried
About "what if?"
'Cause what if I die tomorrow?
Then I never even lived.

PoetryUPDATE: I wrote these when I was 13 and depressed all the time. I'm 18 now, and, fortunately, life's been going well! Unfortunately, these poems are fairly cringe, so read at your own risk. Just some poems that I write when I'm in the poetic mood...
