When Will It End

This sad poem is about the almost relentless battering of problems that are served up in our young lives. However, I have to say there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you will enjoy this sad poem.

When Will It End?

I wonder when these feelings of powerlessness will be banished

My feelings of hopelessness? Have they vanished?

The right medicine was not given to me in the past

The need for that remedy is coming really fast

I could have treated myself a long time ago

But I didn’t know I needed it, time goes by really slow

When will it end?

My treatment consists of proper guidance, exploration, and learning real skills

So then I will not only be able to pay the bills

But be able to experience life and all of its thrills

I’m very concerned and I worry

About my future, I’m in a hurry

I want to hop off the safety seat

I need to manage life’s heat

When will it end?

I should have started running when I was forced to walk

My creativity and imagination, I wanted to keep my stock

When I wanted to do something practical, they strongarmed me into doing nothing

When I wanted to do something meaningful, they didn’t help me do a single thing

Life? I will have to wing it

Find a space, I need to fit

Some feelings don’t escape me, when will it end?

When I needed something valuable like mentorship and guidance

I was given a pittance

An unhealthy diet filled with force fed rubbish and garbage

To this day I’m still carrying all of that valueless baggage

I hope to take off all of that dead weight

Weight that consists of thoughts that I hate

When will it end?

My lost treasures are difficult to reacquire

I know deep down that my situation isn’t dire

Knowing that most things will turn out alright in the finale

I will be able to transverse life’s valley

But, when will all my cares fly away?

And how long will they stay?

When will it end?
