\\\"never give up on something you cant go a day withouth thinking about\\\" \\\"carpe diem\\\"


I long to be free, ill make it some day.
Writing this poem will take my mind away.
In the distance i hear a bird tweet its parting farewell.
I long to be free, just the sky and me.
Not a care in the world, wild and free.
Now im pulled back into reality.
How miserable reality proves to be.
Im like a caged bird, trying to break free.
How sweet it would be to break away from everything that breaks my heart.
From everything that threatens to tear me apart.
But for now i am trapped, i must accept it.
Though it would be easiest to slip away from the pain.
I must accept that this is real.
I must not slip away and never return.
Even though that is for what my heart may burn.
I must keep holding on,
If not for me, then for you.
Though im like a poor little caged bird.
Waiting to be set free, Ill make it someday.
You just wait and see...

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem basically about my life. I dont want to say my life sucks or anything like that, because then i would sound like some cray emo. Im not, i just have deppression issues, lol. However I know that i am not the only teenager in the world that feels this way.

I decided to read your work seeing as how we have been talking in the forums. Lol.

Anyways, this poem is really great, and I would love to read more by you :)

I also decided to look at your interests page and noticed that we like a lot of the same things, which I thought was cool.
