time to die

vividvoid14

depression 

anxiety

worthless 

damn im such a mess

actin like were friends 

nah i just put my fake face on

a 24 hour smile 

through my highs and lows

life's beating my down but i still smile with each blow

controlling the anger inside, it just that the pain and anger keeps on growing

the word come out my mouth, "im fine".... "im okay"

dont worry i know you know i'm lying

deep down we all know im dying 

my life flying by, i spend these long nights crying

just waiting for the time i die

    Nice write. I encourage you think about pairing these cathartic writes with another that teaches toward optimism. It’ll help me keep from worrying about my friend ???

        You’re getting really good. Student quickly outgrowing the master , Gradshopper.

          trust me your a good teachers. it took me awhile to understand how to make my poems less literal. when you told me "If a great writer describes w style how a woman is dressed then we can use that as a roadmap to describe the attire of a man. None of the words are the same but learning to honor an elevated technique is your goal" something clicked. i made everything you were telling me make sense
