I don’t quite know,
If I want to disappear.
But I find more often,
I don’t want be here.
I cant quite say,
Why I’m failing so.
But I know,
That ive no place to go.
Life is short,
But too long for me.
If only I knew,
What I should be.
Maybe I’d care,
Maybe I’d like to stay.
But right now,
I want to be so far away.
I don’t want to cry,
I’m tired of being so down.
Isn’t there something,
Anything to flip my frown?
I find myself,
Completely pointless,
I’m alone,
In my distress.
I just want to find,
One reason to stay.
Instead of counting reasons,
To fade away.

Oh honey pease stay for me
I being a woman that has never had the chance to have a child of my own and so wanted children let me help you find the way to stay and to be that child I never had . My heart breaks to feel your pain and know this I love you more than you could ever imagine . First I must ask you are you on any medications for often they can make you feel this way and you wont even notice when it made you change . If you are then get back with your dr and tell him exactly what you are feeling .If your not on any meds I want you to take out some pictures of yourself when you were younger and take a long look at them .See that person sm,iling and happy well I want you to know that person is still inside you and so wanting to come out and play again . Sometimes when we are growing up we go through mind changes that we dont understand and if there arent people about you that loves you dearly to help you through this it is unbearable to the young teen and they feel lost and unsure of life . Honey please take my hand today and know the love I have for you and so wanting to help turn that smile around is me I will be that mom here on AP to see you let that happy child out and learn life is too precious to let go . Know I know that their will be so much joy and love that will suround you if you turn those thoughts around and know that thoughts when we are young are often the harmone changes in our bodies .I went through it the same as you all teens do and often we feel alone and lost .But reach out honey and every day smile at least once around your friends and family and see its contageous honey and will help you find that happy place you so want to be Please honey do this for me I will put you on my favorites so we can work on that smile and know I do love you so the child I was never given can be you for me and together we can grow together .
