how much time is left for me?
everyday seems like a bullet in the head.
the pain of seeing whats in the mirror is more than i can bear.
in the blink an eye, years go by
and things convert so fast.
nobody told me that growing up would mean growing apart.
you make friends, you lose friends.
you find love, your heart breaks.
you look back, and break down.
so many questions, im not finding any answers.
kids like me will be alone forever.
explore the hole thats in my chest.
let a torch unveil there's nothing left.
your words reflect off the wall,
you can hear my distant call.
the voice of who I used to be crying out.
everything inside me resonates this beating
in my heart, i will conquer this without doubt.

I think it's funny how you have a comment stating that you will revise this poem on every one I've read so far, lol.
"so many questions, im not finding any answers.
