Array ( [sid] => 54399 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Another Life [time] => 2004-07-01 16:35:52 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sometimes I wonder,
What it would be like to have a different life?
Who would be my family?
Would I have less strife?

So many people have ruined it,
There are so many rumors floating.
It’s impossible to convince them all,
All those rumors are people lying.

My parents are divorced,
It’s nothing like I thought it’d be.
My Dad isn’t talking to us kids,
Especially me!

I’ve been judged a lot,
It’s not at all fair.
I try to change their minds,
But they don’t care.

I’ve never had so many problems,
It’s never been this hard for me.
I wish I could go back in time,
And make them all like me.

Someone’s started all these lies,
I think I’ve figured out who it is.
I wish he’d leave my life alone,
And keep track of his.

Sometimes I wonder,
What if I never switched schools?
Would my life be better?
Would people still consider me cool?

Im sure writing this poem was just as hard as living it. I have never been through your situation, but I know people who have, and Im going to tell you exactly what I told them, If you listen or care what other people think, Then you can't move on from or start a knew from the "bad" situation you have been dealt with. There's always going to be something devastating in everyone's life, the strength to get on with your life after it, is what makes you strong. I hope you have that strength.

This is unreal. This is my life precisely. You put your experiences into words so well. I can't tell you that it all gets better because it really doesn't. I am just starting to heal and I still have those thoughts. Just know that the struggle to continue is worth it. And realize that you can't change who you are, just how you deal with it.
