Then What?


What happens when your friend turns into a traitor,

When you fall in love then grow to hate her?

What happens when you live a golden life then things begin to fall apart,

When you are left with nothing and are forced to restart?

What happens when you’ve become lost and never found,

When you know that your family will never be safe nor sound?

What happens when you have no one to call,

When you have no one left to enthrall?

Young Logic

My name is Tavian, I am 17 and I love writing. I love poetry and I plan on turning this passion into a profession. I have been accepted into UI therefore I am moving forward with my goals. I write because its my therapy, my outlet, my love and my escape from reality. I write because its something that I am actually good at. I do it because I do it. It's me, this is who I am.
