Self Destructive

she wonders; she forgets.

She wonders why her life’s a mess.

 

She wonders why no nice guys like her.

 

She wonders why she’s failing school.

 

She wonders why her parents gave up on her.

 

She wonders why her friends stab her in the back.

 

She wonders why she has a reputation.

 

She wonders why she’s so popular, but so alone.

 

She wonders why her life’s such a mess.

 

 

She forgets that she created this mess.

 

She forgets that she only goes for jerks.

 

She forgets that she never tries in class.

 

She forgets that she pushed them both away.

 

She forgets that she stabbed them first.

 

She forgets that she’s had sex with five guys.

 

She forgets that popularity isn’t friendship.

 

She forgets that she created this mess.

 

 

She’s self-destructive,

And she doesn’t even realize.

this is a very insightful piece. taking the time to really see ourselves as we really are. taking accountability of our actions. this shows the person is starting to mature. i like how the person admits his faults an realizes you get what you give. these are questions i might ask myself. good way to know oneself. the elegance is in the simplicity. great job.

It's a very true poem. Good poem.

I love how you gave the question at the beginning you kept your reader's with that allowing them to answer the questions in their own way, and then you ended it with the answers very well organized. I love it.

This poem is full of raw truth. I know several people who live their lives like this, and it breaks my heart. I pray for them everyday of my life.

Thank you for sharing this poem. You did a great job with the concept. -thumbs up-

This poem is surely different. I like what you've wrote. In life sometimes we are the cause of the bad things that happen. It almost seems that we can control 50% of our problems. Given I'd say we can't control our problems the other 50% of the time, we still have some control.
