someone I know


Starting off Growing up without a dad but with a mom that doesn’t even care about him. 

Just because you are a lost boy trying to figure out what life has come to, 

everything going by so quick before he can even stop and realize what he can do,

 he decides to take the rough path because there isn’t anything guiding him. 

Which leads to hanging around the wrong people messing around, 

skipping school trying drugs to selling them. 

 Your choices is what makes you the person you are now but you regret everything you’ve done. 

Thats how you learn the hard way, 

when you try gathering everything together but get negative comments from people that you won’t be able to do it,

 that he’ll always be a drug addict that he won’t change he’s just a mistake. 

When he tries being strong through everything because he doesn’t want to show his weakness 

but a person could only take so much. 

Sometimes he just doesn’t care anymore he let life destroy him to the point where he doesn’t feel like he belongs so he tries taking his life away, 

and there he is laying in the hospital bed begging for his life to end, 

but it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Everyone has demons you can face your fears and fight through it because It’s your life and you can live it the way you want.

 Trying to please everyone because they will always tell you who to be. 

Nobody believing in you so you start to believe what they think of you and that’s when you start thinking is life really worth living for?
