Alcoholism Betrayal Cancer Death Lies Drugs Verbal abuse Abandonment Almost drowning Thoughts of suicide Living through depression These are the tears that I have bled These are the rivers that I have filled These are the corners that I have hid in And these are the realities that I have had to face Stop feeding me advice Stop pitying me Stop saying that you understand Only when you have faced every one of these, would you finally see the light Only when you have faced my hell would you finally appreciate your life And only when you have felt the burning of these tears, would you finally see me But I give you this advice- Take advantage of your life.
Reason for writing:
This is probably the last poem that I am submitting. I want to hopefully want a book someday and until then, I'm reading your works and learning from you, the best of poets :0)
