Cry

Again not sure if this is a poem but I can't find a journal category.

I want to cry because I'm not good enough.

I can't cry.

I've got nothing.

I think I peaked in high school and everything else has been down hill since then.

I pray to god that I'm wrong but things aren't looking up.

I don't want to go through life working a 9 to 5 job doing something that I hate.

I hate feeling so broken like this.

I hate being like this.

I was never weak.

I use to be strong.

I use to not care.

But now I'm just weak.

I'm no longer big and strong.

I guess its like I said I peaked in high school.

If I could only find you maybe you would make everything right.

But I don't want to find you like this.

I need to grow big and strong.

I can't be this weak and be with you.

 I'm not good enough.

Please god I beg of you make me stronger.

A poem is whatever you want it to be (that's my opinion);
yes, there are many forms to experiment with, but your own
form is okay, too. It's art. A 20 year old should be living life
to it's fullest!! "Live" is key! In order to find 'her' you must
find 'you'. There's got to be a bright spot somewhere ...

This is touching, although I have to disagree with the not good enough part, you can't ever say that or you'll believe it. And there will NEVER be a moment when you aren't good enough for someone. Remember that! :) And plus, you should smile every moment of everyday because someone could be falling in love with it and you don't even know it! :D

The format is very intriguing and the wording is great. The emotions and feelings of not being enough and not being strong enough, even if not in the literal sense as they are here, is so normal that anyone who reads this could go, I know how that feels.

There is no set form of poetry. If you're twenty then you're only in a low spot. You can pick yourself up at any time. I'm sure you didn't peak in school. I think you mean used to. There's a lot of emotion in this. I hope you find the answers you're looking for. :)
