Happiness

It only exists in our minds
You can't find it in your life
Emotion is just our imagination
And our minds are the trains entering the station

Depression

It sucks you in
to a dark abyss
of lonely nothingness
makes life feel ruined

It traps you
with no chance of rescue
You try to fight
but with no stopping in sight

You look for an escape
But the darkness starts to overtake
It controls you mercilessly
and you just let it helplessly

Death

Death is the loss of a loved one
Sad, depressing, and full of loneliness
Death is knowing that you are no longer willing
Death is finding yourself at peace.

Death is a gateway
Death frees those
who are confined
to the material world

Love

It's amazing to feel
It's so surreal
It's like watching a movie
It makes you feel groovy

It's a breath of fresh air
In a world of fear and despair 
It lights the darkness
In the people that are heartless

School

You try so hard to fit in
You just need to be yourself to win
When people make fun of you
That means they used to be just like you too

When you try to make friends
look for a real connection
They will start to show affection
If you fight try to make amends.

Surgery

It's scary like the when you go into a haunted house
It makes you feel like nothing but a little mouse
It's something you can't escape 
Like you're caught by Professor Snape

The rush of fear 
makes you feel like a deer 
Caught in the cross-hair 
of someone trying to hunt there

The wave of sadness 
Makes you feel like Katniss 
when she lost her friend Rue 
you just don't know what to do.

Sorry

This poem was written by my mother. 

I wasted time being selfish.
I wasted time being cruel.
I wasted time being wrong.


I could've spent my time making you happy.
I could've spent my time being nice.
I could've spent my time being right.


Now all my time is up, no more time to waste.
So with these seconds I have left I say I'm sorry.
