You Have To Choose Happiness

This poem is about me personally. I was thinking back to my past and most of it is about when I was depressed and used to do bad thinsg such as: self harm,drugs,pills,ditch classes.Things of that nature. The ending talks about how I let it go and decided to choose happiness and get better. Depression is a real thing. If you know someoe that is going through that help them. Everyday remind them of how important they are. In the long run you will be happy you did.

People say they wanna know my story

But i think it's really boring

But since you wanna know here you go

But heads-up i'm from chicago

I may look like i'm from the hood

But my respect for people shows you I'm good

I respect my elders and the adults too

But sometimes there is no one i can go to

It's really hard for me to concentrate

But it's not hard for me to contemplate

Some of the decisions i made weren't the best

And didn't make me stick out from the rest

I used to listen to what people say about me

But i had to soon realize that wasn't the key

People words will hurt and sting

But at the end of the day i let it go like loose strings

People hurt me deep down inside

And it really hurt my pride

I soon became depressed

But i just told people i was stressed

My blood level got lower

And mind got slower

I wasn't "all there"

But i'd say i was fair

I didn't wanna live

But I recently learned to forgive

I will never forget the people who did me wrong

Cause one day i'll be big and strong

I'll let the past be the past

And move on to my future

Because the future starts today

And the best part is you get to create it
