About the Poem

This poem tells how sometimes life gets me down, but I just have to pick myself up, and move on. And how I have messed up in the past, but it's no reason to just quit and run away. I might want to run away from my problems, but I can't. And nobody should. I just have to get over what I have done, and move on to better things, and make a better life.

Life

by Jenna Spears

Sometimes I can see myself running.
But what am I running from?
I'm running from life.
It's impossible to get away.
Sometimes I wish I could just close my eyes,
And then things would be different.
I just want to be somebody.
I don't know if I can, but I'll try.
I've messed up in my life more then once.
But at least I'm still alive.
But do I want to be?
Yes . . . I do.
People mess up all the time.
It's no reason to just run away.
If you do, your problems will wait for you.
You just gotta move on.
You have to except what you've done.
Just can't sit and feel sorry for yourself.
Life's not that bad.
It's what you make it out to be.
There will be good and bad times.
Sometimes more bad then good.
Either way it's life.
I would never want to change my life.
Even though I've messed up in the past.
I think it made me a stronger person.
So instead of running,
I'll stay and take life as it is!

Im 13 and a lot more mature then a lot of teens. I've had a hard childhood. living my life without a Mom there and rasing my little brother with my Dad. Now my Dad and I don't really get along. because I've made some bad choices and he don't know how to forget them. I try so hard to forget sometimes I wanna run from everything but I know I can't. Because running from ur mistakes don't make it better.

That poem only spoke the truth. I have always wanted to run away from my problems and i didn't want to live. I ALWAYS got into trouble.
