This Elegy is about the feeling that we have no control over life and all the misery it thrusts our way. It's not simply about hating life but the bitterness one feels at life hating us. Its about the various injustices of the world and how dysfunctional society has become. Here the author expresses suicidal thoughts regularly and firmly believes there is no reason for them to go on. Yet towards the end, they reach the conclusion that if they cannot live for themselves, then they will live for their loved ones and the meager chance of happiness to come. 

This carries a really important message as there will always be a reason to live, even if it's something indescribably small like living to spend time with your pets, or living for the taste of a certain food--all things you cannot experience if you die. the meaning of life is to find your own meaning. 

Ultimately, this Elegy is about shouldering through life--no matter your hurdles, appreciating life for the rollercoaster that it is, and finding value and happiness despite it all.

Words are sharper than knife they say. Yes it is true. Some perfectly moulded good words can both make and break a heart easily. A poem is a group of such perfectly moulded words given wings to fly. They fly through the mind and heart easily. A hobby is an activity we do to express ourselves, our beliefs and our thinking. For example through drawing, dancing, singing, etcetera. Writing a poem is one of such hobbies. Here words are used. These words and messages are far more twisted. A poem hits the mind, a good poem hits the heart. Thoughts Of A Juvenile is just a collection of my poems.I started writing poems when I was 8. I may not be a great writer. But yeah I write to express. There have been times for me like many other teenagers where I thought I was lost and helpless. There have been good times too. I'm standing on the edge of teenage now, telling you that you can survive this. You can survive everything. All you need is to find your strengths. There are sad nights and then there are mornings full of opportunities. Don't give up. I'm here and I'll always be here. Whenever you feel down just remind yourself "Be stupid". Go out in public and the eat the food you like alone, ask out your crush, flirt like there's no one watching, dance like a ghost has possessed your body, prank people, have a little chat with the nerds you know. Surviving is an art not many can master. Be a Master. There are mistakes in this book and I tried my best to correct them. But couldn't correct them all. I would really love to receive reviews and criticism. Vote if you like it. Comment your views. And follow for more poems. Add it to your reading list or library.
