Hello all! My name is Erin and these are just some poems I write. Tell me what you think-I'd love to know if you can relate to any of them! And advice is always welcomed! Hope you enjoy reading!!

There's nothing wrong
and yet so much is.
I should be happy-
I am happy.
But others have
so much less than me.
Others go hungry
Others are cold.
And yet I still think
Of what I want more.
How do I make sense
of everything around.
I shouldn't complain
there is no real reason.
But I feel trapped
and locked up from outside.
I want to do more
I'd rather be more.
Why can't I be innocent
but why can't I grow up?
They won't take me seriously
yet they won't take a joke.
Just want to DO something
but just want to stop doing.
I want to be differet
but not just because.
Life seems so pointless
Life is so wonderful.
I can't escape this
I can't accept this.
I want to go home
I want to get OUT.
Why won't they accept
Why won't they reject.
I can't complain though.
My problems are trivial
compared to those of another.





Why must we work at jobs we hate
when we are fired if we're one second late?
Why can't we just follow our dreams
instead of succumbing to another's crude schemes?
Why is is so hard to do what you wish
whether it's act, or write of learn how to fish?
Why must the money always matter so much
so that all of our hope slip out of a touch?
Why do we need such riches to survive
and it becomes so hard just to stay alive?
Why do they make it so hard for us to learn
so that we put in much more than we earn?
Why to the tired not get to sleep
when they have no energy left to weep?
Why is that I write about why?
Because saying nothing would to much of a lie.
