To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.


There’s no use in crying after all is said and done

Maybe you should’ve tried harder

or maybe you should’ve just talked

Because all it takes is one word

One word to save a life

Keep your sorries to yourself

It won’t bring back what is gone

All those days that I cried

wishing you were here is over

So let me tell you one last thing

It was good meeting you

I know I would be missed

But you didn’t miss me earlier

Let me tell you the truth

I’m leaving, not where you think I’m

But another beautiful place

where pain is easier and life is magic.


The author's comments:

I wrote this on one of my darkest days. The piece was born from my tears and the intensity of my loneliness. The poem portrays how the monotonous life drives you to dream of an escape reality. Iam sure a lot of teenagers like me can relate to this poem which is definitely alarming. Yet I feel like there is hope for all of us.
