Wasted?:   

You’re not

A waste of space

Just a smile never seen

Your laugh never heard

You hide yourself in a fountain of pain

Every day is always pain

Never feel wasted

Always be true

You’re not a waste

You’re a persons

Whole world and a part of my life

Short, nice, and so true! Self inflicted pain is as much or more so to those who love you dearly. There are no wasted lives in life as each life has a ripple effect on so many others around it.

Dear Carly

I think you've captured some excellent sentiments(your poem) on a subject that is not only deep but afflicks a number of young people. A poem can explain much in a few words. So well done for that.  Now to carry that message on to others you've used the vehicle of poetry. I've used poetry for a number of reasons in the past: litter; drugs; assault; the death of a clown; thoughts of an old soldier; sea rescue and the associated disaster.  My latest effort represents an anthology of war poems for the charity Combat Stress. I am proud to be included in 'Enduring Freedom.' ISBN 9781908487018

My question is what will you do with your poem? It ought to be published.

Best wishes

Thank you both for reading you both found the meaning before any of my friends (the one who thought of injury) did!
Thanks for reading

Hi Carly
The subject of your poem is not only sensitive but needs proper handling. To publish as it stands need,IMO, more content and a very strong theme all the way through that will interest the reader, no matter how serious the topic. FYEO is my consideration. Please request being a friend then we can exchange text and info if you feel you'd like me to help.

I like this poem. I like to think of myself as a true poet to society. Sometimes by reading someone else's poem I am able to create. Her's one for your friends.

 

I am here and you are there, hold onto today,

we may be worlds apart but my heart is open

My ears are open to your pain and suffering

Hold onto the here and now

I have seen the world at war

hav e watch a full grown man cry

have seen myself hit drugs only to fall on my face

but today I am writing to you.

Hold it up and keep your head up!

Go ahead and cry if it helps..I do. 

I am here. 

No one is ever alone..your friend is here also.

Wow, I really like this. Defiantly inspirational. It's funny because I have one that's like exact opposite of this...called waist of molecular space, I will post it soon, but it was written when I was pretty upset/angry
