Why?


I seem to never learn

I take for granted what I am smart enough to comprehend

My life thrown away

my opportunity lost

 I am broken

I am defeated

I never seem to learn

My demons are like an old record player

on repeat

but I never learn the lyrics

becuase i already taste defeat

what's wrong with my organization

what is wrong with my head

I throw away opportunity

leave it in the dust

my hard work is nothing

the reward is lost

I never seem to learn

Hi All! I am a high school student (senior). I find such joy in putting my thoughts and feelings into words and on paper so some stranger can find joy or emotion out of what I write. I strive to better myself through poetry, deep thinking, and music. I have also played travel ice hockey for 8 years and have played the violin for 12. Thanks for reading!
