My name is Andrew, I am a student at a local high school. I wish that I was a very talented poet like Poe,Lonfellow,Dickinson and Leprohon but I will never be able to make that kind of standard. Most of the poems I write have dark background and are from my life. Please enjoy these works they mean a lot to me.This is just dark don't think about doing this and if you are young don't read them please.Don't do anything drastic because I have been in your shoes and life just gets better after it gets worse.

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is (merely) to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate. I think it is above all to matter, to count, to stand for something. To have it make some difference that you lived at all."
Leo Rosten
"Anybody can become angry - that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy."
-Aristotle
