Get Up

Get up and comment take an active role in the creative process

Get up off the ground
stop your crying and pretend
like everyone else does
pretend your happy
pretend you have a spine
you came to me for help
well here it is
you've started boot camp
if you want to be babied then leave
if you want to make excuses don't bother
if you want to fight back, please do
you lay there and take all the world's garbage
like some yellow bellied coward

I really like the way you have expressed this situation in your poetry. It's speaks maturity. It tells the readers that instead of being weak and drowning in your world of regret and sadness, instead of blaming every single thing that has gone wrong in your life on someone else, instead of trying to tell others of your grief for gaining their sympathy, it is best to learn to fight and survive the rude ways of the world! And personally, this is the thought that keeps me going in my tough times. I really liked this particular piece. Thanks a lot for sharing! :)

I wasn't sure about it really just needed to let it out of my chest so it didn't muck up my peace

Yeah that is true for me... Most of the poems I write myself are just to let off that weight of feelings off my heart...
