Hello!
It’s been a long while since I’ve posted anything.
This post is more poetry, even though it doesn’t rhyme. If anyone has feedback, I’d greatly appreciate hearing it since this is actually going to be something for school and I’d like it to be the best it could be.

Growing up I used to believe
Being smart is all I would need
I pushed myself for those top grades
Often spending many hours in my room
Simply doing work for school
My grades then seemed the most important
Relationships I had began to fade
I was far too busy to even notice
Having my schedule filled with difficult classes
Whenever there was time I wasn’t working
Something felt off— something was missing
When I would notice friends having fun
Laughing together and enjoying themselves
That’s when I began to realize
Working tirelessly towards the top grades
Had left me lonely and unhappy.
I wish I knew before then
Good grades don’t guarantee happiness.

When people first heard of my passing
They assumed it was to some disease
With all of the assumptions made
Not one of them was actually correct
You could say the beginning of the end
Was when I first met my love
Since the very start
He had stolen my heart
I find saying that embarrassing now
But as the relationship got more serious
I noticed his behavior changing
He would go out late at times
Sometimes he wouldn’t even come home
Eventually I figured him out
He had been seeing another
Finding that out broke my heart
Which is what caused my early departure
What a beautifully tragic way to go
