In a split second you want your life to be over.
Please hold on and remember life is about do-overs.
It's happening again,I'm fallingDown into a deep endless void,At least, I think it's endlessMaybe it's not.Maybe eventually I'll reach the bottom.The bottom of this deep empty pit in which I'm falling.

Acrostic Poem:
Enedina is an exceptional hardworking woman
Never gives up always looking for improvement
Excelling in life even while adulting
They told you time would heal. That eventually you'd make progress. So you carry on. Sometimes you go days, weeks without crumbling.
As we wait for the inevitability that is death
We joke and cry and Laugh while we pass our sorrows around
We are all children down to the core
I mean, Who wants to Grow up and be alone?
Through ups and downs
we continue to work together
through ups and downs
we continue to make jokes
through ups and downs
we continue to listen
but most importantly
Teens from over the world need to hear this
You might think school is stressful, but really it's bliss
12 year of learning, but that's still not enough
So you think about quitting, because it's too much
Outside,
Pristine
Joyful laughter and witty comments are her body
hair shines with intelligence,
sole thick with confidence.
She knows her world and the one before her
Nowhere to go and no friends to roam the streets
Hoping that someone will find out
Find out that you have been carrying a lie
That smile on your face everyday
Cuts, scars, bruises
The routine I so well know
Life isn’t about the canoes and cruises
It’s about those people who row
Miracles happen, this I know to be true
It happened to me, it can happen to you
I was born in the fires I see the marks that they leave,
for everyone else its not hell that they see,
I grew up in shadows was pushed to the side,
My father denice that I'm even alive,
Why do you think you are so alone
Do we not ask you what is wrong
Do we not ask you to just tell us
Why do you think you are so alone
We heard you were in the hospital last week
Time is moving fast
I wish I can slow it down
But Some people I be messing with they never come around
It's like I'm the only one that's down
You can ask my town
Waking up day by day,
slowly trying to take the stress away
Days going time by time,
To my descendants:
When I arrived in this role I had been given, love was blossoming in many ways.
People were just learning to love people for who they are, what they are.
I am now finally here, through the fears and tears, I have finally made it..
I am no longer self-destructive, now I am productive and constructive.
Loser I am not for my name means defender.
One left, my heart died
As it broke my trust on love
One came, my heart lived
My heart learned to love again
Gently piled my trust once more
The heart can be taught,
Camera lights flashing,
hundreds of people clapping.
I did it;
WE did it.
The smiles,
the laughs.
The friendships that will always last.
How did I get so lucky?
Stepping onto that mat;
Hey, my name is T-Rek
Ya I ain't a reject, it's all about respect
Arab, don't hate, reflect
There is no need for judging
In this world it's all or nothing
For loving and hugging
Not cutting or fighting
Everyone's lives are a mystery
Sometimes all you can do is stand.
All you can do is keep on working, pushing towards brighter days.
A breeze whispering a soft promise of rain and thunder.
The sun slowly sinking on the horizon.
The clouds roll in as the sky darkens,
Confusion on a silver platter served up quite nicely for all to enjoy.
Or rather to think of in a derogatory way within themselves.
The case may vary, as many grow weary.
As I leave my family
Towards a glowing light I cannot look away
I am blinded and cannot see ahead
I hear the great gust of wind trying to push me back.
Yet why do I keep walking forward?
Searching for something to hold on to, can't find nothing to grasp
When things go wrong,As they will sometimes.Dont you worry, for they will soon be gone.Even though your troubles seem to pile on up,
If I tell you how I feel,
You'll laugh at my joke.
You'd tell me that I'm stupid,
and leave me here alone.
Deserted in the desert,
Crowded in the streets.
I've fallen into your eyes, lies, & shame.
Up on a mountain peak
Sits a place where everyone wants to seek
But the journey to the top is hard and cold
Where challenges never cease to get old
Most people trip and stumble along the way
My life: it’s like one of those practices where you keep running suicides
The whistle blows, you start running
You don’t know when it’s going to stop; but what you do know is you have no other option but to give it your all
Pain, Torment, Hurt, Sorrow, Emptiness
Feelings I experience everyday
There is no way to describe
Let them wash away and happiness stay
When I was younger, I went through a lot of crap.
I didn't know how to express my feelings.
My emotions, my life, everything was out of wack.
I was bullied.
I had thoughts of suicide.
What stops us from going after our dreams, desires, and hopes?
Is it the fear of disapproval, judgment, or fearing that you yourself are wrong?
Why is it that we live our lives in fear?
Lost is the lady bee in the apple tree
Drawn to the nature without a mother
Carrying only a bit of poison to protect herself
Looking for the soft petals of security
She lays there with the blood coursing ever so slowly through her veins
dying in her agony... atrophy from the
antagonizing sorrow of the pain she feels in side...
her eyes are glazy and cloudy
I've failed,
I know I have,
I've screwed up so many times,
I try and try,
But nothing improves,
What's the point of practice,
If nothing hits perfection.
What's the point of trying,
I Never fell asleep yesterday
but when I woke up today
I realized that tomorrow is not so far away.
