Tell me why I shouldn't give up

Why I shouldn't end it all

Tell me why I should never give up hope

When I'm still in free fall?

Tell me why theres nothing wrong with me

Cuz I can see every imperfection

Tell me why no one wants me!

I don't take well to rejection.

Tell me why I'm still crying

Even after the cut has faded

Tell me why I feel like I'm dieing.

Am I really that jaded?

Tell me why your still here

Even after I hurt you so much

Tell me why you can see so clear

When your eyes wont even open up

Tell me why I shouldn't just die right here

On the spot

Tell me why You're still near

When my anger never stops

Tell me why I shouldn't give up on myself

When I've got nothing left

Tell me why I should live

When pain is all I've felt

I wrote this in like 5 minutes, and I came up with it right there on the spot.

Some of my best poems come to me like that as well. This must be one of your best, The honesty shines from the darkness -- no stranger to me . . .

Intense emotions create intense poems.

As for the question within: I can't pretend to be able to tell you why . . .

Perhaps knowing that this too shall pass is enough.
It was enough for me at the time.

Take care.

this is really deep. it's heartfelt and emotional. I feel like it was building and building, then it tapered off in the last line--but it tapered off into a hopeless sadness. very good:)

Me Against The World

I just read this again and then my first comment to which you replied that your all alone, if you ever feel that way sweetie there are always people here for you on booksie. If there's ever anything wrong you can tell me. I do love this poem though despite the fact that I don't want you to be sad it has an impact.
