I wish I were as naive as you
And
I wish I could have the world handed to me
And
Be able to throw it away
You're able to have a dream
I don't have time to dream
And
I'm told I'll never make it
Because
I'm not smart enough
Or
Pretty enough
I've lived my life in the corner
Or
Hanging on the wall
Unable to experience what you've taken for granted
I never got to have a childhood
My parents never cared about
Or
For me
Not much has changed
I've just grown older
And realized that I'm all I have in this world
And wheather I succeed or not is all up to me to decide
I have no one to depend on for food, clothing,or shelter
Everything I have I've earned
And
Nothing has ever just been handed to me
I'm struggling to win with the cards
I've been dealt
In this game of life
I used to think
I got the wrong cards
That it was a mistake
And
I was living someone Else's life
I tried to change
But
Found out the hard way that I can't
I realized just the other day
That I'm lucky to be who I am
And although I'm alone in this battle
I will win this war
On my own
I wish I had someone to tell me
When I mess up
Or
To hold me when I cry
I learnt life's lessons the hard way
The truth is
I'm jealous of my peers who have parents
I want to be told no
I know it sounds ridicules
But
It's the truth
Author notes
Anyone who thinks having parents sucks just think of me. I wish I had parents. I would trade all the freedom in the world just to know how it feels to be loved.

No No NO No No Why is it we all want the things we don't have instead of cherishing the things we do. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and move forward. With or without parents or friends by our side we still walk through this life on our own path and never alone. Listen can you see me for i am coming to you in spirit and it is in your spirit to succeed by faith all your needs are provided and you are loved and cared for and now after i've gone on so badly i noticed in your Author notes you wrote this almost three years ago.
MY BAD, I would love to see your artistry. Peace in light and love. You have been added to my fav's

Thanks alot gemini star! I feel old sometimes because I have way to much responsibility. I just wanna be a normal 19 year old who's only worry is going to school. But no not me! But I know that all the crap that I've been through is eventually going to make me stronger!I wonder what's going to happen to other people my age when their on their own.

Wow. Just.... wow. This sounds a lot like how I feel towards other people who think they can have anything without working for it. I can relate to this in so many ways. I didn't have a childhood, I didn't get to go out to movies, I'm living on my own, paying my bills, etc. All in all, I'm on my own and sometimes... I have the feeling of not wanting it at all. Just to be held for once and have something I needed taken care of done by someone else. But theres the aspect of reality. Some people have the bad end, some have the good. Then theres some, like me, who are trying to go from the bad to the good on their own. And I do get jealous that some people my age (wow, that makes me sound old) are ignorant and think they still can get whatever they want. Very nicely written, keep up the good penning!
Much Love,
Gemini Star xxxx -
i agree with bloody dawn im not like most of the teenagers in the world that think im all that and throw it away just because i can because there are so many people out there that dont have what we do and we should be thankful for what we do have and what we get
