POEM by:
The Depressed Poet

Life

 I fall on my face,
and they laugh.
I trip and scrape my knee,
and they pass right by.
No one offers to help,
and no one really cares.
Stop and look around.
Take a real good look.
There is nothing to see but the evil.
Children get ignored,
and then they learn to hate.
Nothing is ever done,
so it continues to go on and on.
It makes me want to scream and cry.
But then I stop to think,
that won't get me anywhere.
No one will hear me,
or if they do,
they won't pay close enough attention.
I have come to realize,
it will never change.
Just hope you can survive,
and remember to thank God
for every day you are still alive.
Chase your dreams,
don't let them die.
Listen to your parents,
if they are good enough to teach.
Show your children how to love,
and the difference between right and wrong.
Don't choose the path of so many others,
and work hard to rise above them.
Live life to it's fullest,
and never give up.
Work around those who don't care.
Ignore them and one day your efforts shall pay off.
Remember these words of wisdom,
and the few others you may get.
Don't be too greedy.
Always be kind.
Share your love to the world,
to whoever may accept.
Help those in need,
and remind them to do the same.
We have to start somewhere,
even if we don't get very far.
Something has to change,
Although it might be to late.
But it never hurt to try.
If this world is to ever be a better place,
let it start with you and me.
