“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

We are broken,
One mistake
That can't be undone,
Is never forgotten,
And never forgiven.

We are shattered,
They break us,
Use us,
And then throw us away
Like we were never even there.

You are forever forgotten
Like an old sock
With no pair.
Is has no value anymore,
It serves no purpose.

Nothing matters anymore,
You feel useless,
Torn,
Unwanted,
And invisible.

The author's comments:
Teens feel as if they have no place to go and no one to talk to. They feel as if one mistake could determine the course their life takes from then on out, when in actuality, it's all inside their head.
