So I wrote another poem: Where do I go wrong, every day every night is an annoying overwhelming fight. Someone please help me I'm on the edge I don't know what to do, Oh it's eating me alive, Someone please help me it's not my time, only 13 years old and I wanna grab a knife, This is not my time I wanna survive, but it's hard cause all I do is cry, why do I cry? Let me tell you reasons why .. I'm really sad really annoyed I guess it's what I get for being a nerd, All this depression is deep, deeper then a hole, I call that hole the hole of depression. Ah, depression, my friend please leave and never come back again. I want to be happy but all I am is desperate, desperate for love, desperate for hugs, desperate, kisses, I just want love, I found love. Wow such a beautiful relationship, Man only 2 weeks, it feels like year, so kind, yet so joyful and loving. I hope all this love never ends, because it's making me happy again. I have to say thanks to Maddy my lovely girl, you're so beautiful, and you made my world, You really care and you're always there, Please don't get me anything for Valentine's cause all I want is you my dear, I know I seem so mad, But honestly I'm really glad, Glad that you're mine, My beautiful Valentine. Maddy I remember when we first met, Them beautiful memories I'll never forget, Well I have to say one more thing, I just wanna give you a beautiful wedding ring. Sincerely: Alexandria
