WHATCHTA DOING?????


"What are you doing on your laptop?" everyone asks, I say it is homework, But I'm really writing these poems, The only thing that keeps me afloat, Because if I showed my parents they would be mad I don't love them enough And if I showed my friends they would say I loved them too much And I have so much love to give, But no one can ever know Or I'm the crazy one

A young girl chasing a dream that can't be caught, Holding onto hope that is too far gone Losing her mind trying to help others get theirs back Prayers go unanswered no matter what she does It's the life of no one, no one but me
