It's us
destroying ourselves.
Our arms bearing the scars of the hate that inside us dwells.


It's us
addictions, drugs, narcotics, marijana,
Trying to take us to anotherlife-far away

It's us
brokeness,depression,scars,self-destruction,
Anger, hatred, hurt, mutilation

It's us
This generation now, teenagers
We are bound to each other, to strangers

It's us
But it's not me

"Live your art" -made this one up myself. Simple, but true.

I like this poem because it makes me think even though it is so short. Good job!

&quot;People are like tea bags, they don&#039;t realize their own strength until they&#039;re dropped in hot water &quot;<br /> &ldquo;People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.<br /> If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.&quot;

5/5!  Good job!. . .  It has a good emotion through it..

Be yourself, and do what you want, because those who matter don&#039;t mind, and those who mind don&#039;t matter.

This poem has a sort of 'haunted' feel to it that really helps get the message across. I don't really know how to describe this poem, other then WOW!

I will definitely favorite this.
