Ahead Of You

Take a look at yourself,
And see what's right infront of you.
Life isn't as long as you think,
And I could be gone tomorrow.

Everyone always says,
"Live everyday, like it's your last."
I just figure, you're gonna die;
Why not make it happen faster?

Sometimes I don't want that,
I just want to keep my life and move on.
But the first time I let that razor hit my wrist,
I didn't lose any hope, or faith.

But I lost myself.
I died right there,
Some would think that's not true,
But that's just coming from someone who has a heart.

Life is much more complicated than people think,
And it takes so much more than a kiss to make things better.
Bandaids aren't the answer to lifes problems.
Your actions are.

    Glad you do not anymore. Deep poem, great lines opening the readers mind. Our actions really are the answer, wish more people would understand.

    This poem is alsome. Expesially to me because my friend Mickeala is going to a school in Shaboygan and I'm in Chilton. She's leaving on her own choice and I don't think she relizes we may never see each other again. Thankyou so much.

    I could not agree more with how ones actions are the answers to life's problems. It reminds me of a quote and it said that, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." You pretty much summed that up in this poem. Great job, looking forward to reading more!

    Strong piece and you are correct bandaids are not the answer at all. You have to fix it, not mend it Very well done here and it has a strong message to it. Good job!

    But... sometimes our actions aren't always the best for solving the problems we have. This was such a hopeless poem. I felt your pain in it. I don't have any corrections for you... just a hug to offer

    Hmmm.. I like it. I like most of your work. I love you so much. You've always been there for me, you're the best thing I've ever had and always will... Can I just marry you?

    Love you Kati!
