        <p>It has been brought to my attention,</p>
<p>that High school really isnt as mature is it should be.</p>
<p>The people still talk, just not as loud.</p>
<p>The bullies still bully, just not as bad.</p>
<p>Backstabbing bitches still exist,</p>
<p>but are afraid to show themselves.</p>
<p>And guys think with their &quot;little head&quot;</p>
<p>more than ever before.</p>
<p>Trust no one.</p>
<p>That&#39;s my new philosophy.</p>
<p>Dont trust the girl who sits next to you in History,</p>
<p>she just wants to cheat off of your work.</p>
<p>Dont trust that seemingly perfect guy who gave you a wink in the halls,</p>
<p>he heard you are easy.</p>
<p>Dont trust that clique of girls who said they liked your hair.</p>
<p>They laughed at you when you walked away.</p>
<p>High school is full of fake people everywhere you look.</p>
<p>Hell, think about it... you&#39;re fake to!</p>
<p>Reading this poem like you are actually interested.</p>
<p>So dont even trust yourself...</p>
<p>you might get stabbed all the same</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>i like it till u get the the last 2 lines... but i couldnt think of anythin else.... :&#39;(</p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p>They say I&#39;m dying for attention.</p>
<p>That&#39;s why I do what I do.</p>
<p>That&#39;s why I cut my wrists at night,</p>

<p>Oh, yes..</p>
<p>Because all I need is more attention,</p>

<p>NO.</p>

<p>About how much hurt i hold inside me?</p>
<p>About how all&#160;i do, is cry and cry?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Because all you think about it you.</p>
<p>You just want a reason to ignore yet another person,</p>
<p>and concentrate on yourself.</p>
<p>So that you can be the center of attention once again.</p>

        <p>People search the world just to find one thing.</p>
<p>Why were we &quot;put&quot; here?</p>
<p>Why do we exist?</p>
<p>They spend their entire lives searching for what it right in front of them.</p>
<p>The &quot;meaning of life&quot; is not to worship.</p>
<p>It is not to spend your life trying to live perfect for a god.</p>
<p>It is to simply live loving,</p>
<p>and to love living.</p>
<p>Live life to the fullest,</p>
<p>let no one stand in your way.</p>
<p>The meaning of life is to find yourself,</p>
<p>whoever that may be.</p>
<p>It is not to live as if in a colt of religion,</p>
<p>it is to embrace life itself,</p>
<p>to make the best of what you have.</p>
<p>So I say it again.</p>
<p>The meaning of life is to live loving,</p>
<p>and to love living.</p>
<p>live life to its fullest,</p>

        <p>You and me, are not to be.</p>
<p>Our love forbidden, like Romeo and Juliette.</p>
<p>My parents just don&#39;t understand.</p>
<p>They don&#39;t see that my love for you,</p>
<p>flies beyond just a teenage crush.</p>
<p>They don&#39;t see that our love,</p>
<p>our love is unconditional.</p>
<p>So&#160;I sneak around, behind their backs.</p>
<p>What they don&#39;t know wont hurt &#39;em.</p>
<p>But what&#160;I didn&#39;t know,</p>
<p>was that it might hurt me.</p>
<p>The weeks turned into months.</p>
<p>I said no, but you said they are all doing it.</p>
<p>You whispered in my ear,</p>
<p>you wouldn&#39;t love me anymore if&#160;I didnt.</p>
<p>I said your love must not be true,</p>
<p>took a couple steps back, but you pulled me close.</p>
<p>You said you wouldnt hurt me.</p>
<p>But you lied.</p>
<p>I refused, but my refusals had no effect.</p>
<p>Over and over and over again,</p>
<p>you took me.</p>
<p>I tried to fight it, but your strength overwhelmed me.</p>
<p>The pain, not only of the sex, but of hiding it from everyone,</p>
<p>was unbarable.</p>
<p>You said if&#160;I told a soul, you&#39;d kill me.</p>
<p>I thought you loved me.</p>
<p>How could you do this?</p>
<p>I guess it&#39;s true, a stiff dick really has no concience.</p>
<p>My parents were right,</p>
<p>you were just trouble.</p>
<p>I&#39;ts been months now,</p>
<p>since you were put in jail.</p>
<p>I still have nightmares,</p>
<p>I am still plagued by the fears.</p>
<p>Never again, will I be the same.</p>
<p>Most would say it&#39;s YOUR fault.</p>
<p>well, most would lie.</p>
<p>The fault is no one&#39;s but mine.</p>   <p style="clear:both;">
