"Promise me you won't spend so much time trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim."


Falling, falling down the well,

into my eternal hell.

My lungs are closing, my legs are weak.

Tell me why I can't reach my peak.

Scared and lost,

stuck in the frost.

You know I can't afford the cost.

Confused, beaten, I'm very tired

can't go to sleep because my

brain's wired.

Here we go, were falling down,

you take me with you round and round.

All alone, no one in sight,

I don't have the strength to get up and fight.

Bulimia, anorexia,

the girls are gone.

Tell me where society went wrong.

They sit alone cold at night,

their broken hearts filled with fright.

Tell me, tell me what to do.

Oh my gosh I miss the real you.

Memento Mori- It means that nothing lasts forever, no one is immortal, sooner or later you will die and things will come to an end. It also helps you realize that while you are living you should do the most with your life, live life to the fullest.

Wow... Your poem is very insightful, and I'm impressed.  It has a great amount of thought put into it and speaks about problems that are current, that many girls, and boys, suffer with.  I hope that you will continue to upload your work on this site.
