POEM: From a high school student

Keep Going

As the day turns to night,

And there is no more light.

For this darkness swallows me.

I sit here and ponder,

What it is like to be free,

If my life was different

To know what it’s like to be happy,

To be trusted,

To be loved.

Although I find myself dreaming

Of what will never be,

I’m fighting an impossible war,

One that I will never win,

But this is life.

All you can do is smile

And keep going.
