Strong Enough

A poem I wrote, I believe, about all the responsibilities of being an adult causing one to not want to grow up

I wish I could get to sleep

But all of the things I need

To do in my daily life

Are keeping me up at night

And I wish I could change it but

I just don't give a f**k

Some people say life is tough

But this is ridiculous

 

It doesn't matter what I do

I always seem to answer to you

So now I'm gonna tell the truth

It's not your fault

I just want out

Life is getting way too hard

And I know you want to help me-but

Right now I just need to be alone

 

I need to find out if I'm strong

Strong enough to stand on my own

Strong enough to cry alone

But more than anything I need to know

If I'm strong enough to be unloved

 

I've lived life for 21 years

Through that time I've shed some tears

More than enough on any guy

And way too much on my pathetic (little) life

 

I know I'm young but I can see through

The blinds you put up to hide from anything new
