Nothing Ever Lasts

I feel like I'm always doing something wrong
Whether I'm not doing it right
Or I feel like it's taking me too long
Sometimes I just want to quit
Just give in to how I'm feeling
All these emotions are easy to admit
When your mind keeps reeling
But it's more difficult to get them to go away
When your told how you should be day after day
It'd be so much easier to just give up and fall to the floor
Instead of thinking about everything I need to do and more
But I know this too shall pass
Because nothing ever really lasts

Easy on the wordier of lines....we only have so much breath. A harmless nitpick. This is spectacular otherwise. Imagery is strong, message is clear and drives the punch, and the musicality fluidly dances (for the most part). Simply well done!

I am OK, you are OK.
Let go and enjoy the fall.

There's a lot of honesty in this piece, but more than that, a sense of personalization that dives deeper than most. It also contains a sadness that is subtle but wildly painful: knowing that even a depression won't last and that it's the only thing in common with happiness. Your poem highlights this idea and does so with careful wording and attention to structure. Well done.

We're born to die,and life is so fleeting that every second should be cherished.However we all lose sight of this at times and I personally think only age truly focuses on what really matters.Enjoyed reading your poem.

The only certain things in life are 1. Change and 2. Death. You have captured the first sentiment quite well here. Hang in there though because change in situation can be influenced and even controlled by us through our conscious choices and actions.

Good job. Keep Writing!

Loved your poem! I had relate to your wonderfully written poem. And you are so right, whatever we are going through shall pass. Don't let what troubles you today rob you of a sweet tomorrow. So we keep on keeping on. Great poem.
