Life doesn't wait for you,

One second you're happy,

The next you're sad, then gone.

In this cruel world,

It's a fight for survival,

You claw to the top.

Never was a fighter,

Now I'm a demon, a killer.

I cause misery but I swear,

That wasn't who I was.

Without love warming me,

My heart gets colder,

Yes, a chill captures my body.

Look out for I carry death,

And my bad side has no mercy.

© Christian A., Milton, KY

The author's comments:

This tells us that there are people out there that have a rough life and believe that there is only one option for them to get rid of their pain. You feel broken, unfixable and that is how you think you will always feel.

that made little sense with or without the side note, sorry. your other stuff is way good tho, I hope that doesn't offend you, every good author has a couple confusing things, I know I do(not to say I'm a good author, but I'm definitely an author. i have over a hundred articles and what 15? 20? pictures on teen ink.)
