To be honest I don’t wanna write

I seem to never want to write anymore

I used to love it

Now I dread it


People say its easy to be happy

Its easier to be miserable


I try to love 

What really is love

I don’t know

I thought I did but it was a game


A game that ended badly

As you can tell


I know you need to hear this


You know those poems that put you in your feels?

The poems that you randomly come across

The ones that make you cry


Welcome to my poem

I understand you

I understand the constant struggle of not being okay

I get it


I get the days you feel like crap

I get the days you wanna sleep

I get it


Life is your biggest enemy

Dont worry, it’s mine too


Teenage love isn’t real trust me

If it was I would be okay

At least I’m convinced I would


Look at the words below

Close your eyes

We are going to take a ride


Who are you?

A damaged

A broken

An exhausted 

Teenager?


Tenager’s are lazy just ask my mom

It’s friday

School’s almost out for the day


You will be okay

Even if teenage love doesn’t exists
