Its Only Temporary


So I've thought and thought The unparallel and undecisive options to get over this "temporary" trauma What is temporary? Something that won't last forever A life is temporary A human being is temporary A marriage is temporary This whole planet is temporary So when the mouths of the wise tell me my problems are only temporary Their mouths are only moving to speak words It is known that people have it worse I am not one to complain But I am not one to tolerate it for the less fortunate either I refuse to debate over and over again on how to end this temporary life of mine Overdose and dream away my last breath Drop out of high school and join the homeless that ask me for change as I walk along the sidewalks and urban cities Increase every statistic known to man of how teenagers are emotionally incapable of dealing with this temporary life. But then I tell myself that there is just one more year. If I overcome this adversity, maybe I can succeed my way back to feeling again Everything that I have lost will be gained back I replay these thoughts over and over until I have received the 4 years of emotional destructiveness I have dealt with in school and at this place called a home. All in one paper. I will shed no tears of reminisce, only tears of happiness. That I can continue on to forgive and never look back. That is the vision I always end up to see after I have thought over these options to conquer my temporary sadness and suddenly I begin to dream again.
