Poetry: My life

by Angela Luevano

Created on: May 22, 2009

Today is the day, the day I learned a tough lesson,

today I learned that everyone is different, without question.

I had finally learned to let go and be free,

But everyone seems like they are against me.

Every time I turn around there are whispers,

my so-called friends are too full of sneers.

I never did anything wrong, so what's the deal,

they are happy, but my smiles they want to steal?

They only want to benefit themselves, that's so selfish!

I find myself empty, and yet so full of anguish.

Why can't I have a normal life where nothing goes wrong?

Why is it that I can't find out where I belong?

Tomorrow is a new day so I will try yet again

to find out who is and who is not going to be my friend.

I may not end up with anyone by my side,

one out of a hundred maybe, I'll never forget this day that I cried,

this day that I learned that not everyone is like me,

because happiness is all I want for them, with or without me.
