Shouldn't you Understand?
August 5, 2010
Standards were never meant to go this high.
Impossible goals never achieved.
Long speeches fill my head.
Stressed out mornings.
Panic Attacks..
Bottled up Emotions...
Ugly Frustrations....
Is this what you really want.
My life not my own.
Who I want to be thrown off the face of the earth.
You've lived childhood.
Don't you understand.
Can't you just want better for us?
"No. Beacuse it's the parents job to make lives miserable. Life isn't fair."
I drown in my books.
Wondering what the next chapter in life will be.
Since my parents have already written it for me.

Well think about it. You're really good now. All that could happen is for you to get even better... Keep writing because I'd like to read a lot more.

It could be a fall back plan. My writing is more like a hobby to me at the moment. Not a life's ambition...

14... wow. I wonder what you'll be like when you're an adult. Do you plan on continuing into writing and maybe becoming an author/poet.
