This month I am releasing Re:GeNeSiS which is a collection of my first three poetry books to commemorate five years since I published my first poetry book.
This poem is titled "Thoughts" it is my first published poem. I wrote it when I was 15 and it was published when I was 16. The original version appeared in my second book Shadows & Sunshine and was rewritten for my third book Awakening with the Sea.
Do you ever think
That nothing is good, you're a missing link
That you are too skinny or wide
Have you ever thought of suicide
Do you feel like an oyster with no pearl
Do you feel like the only boy or girl
Is this what you think
Do you feel that nothing is fine
That it will never be your time to shine
Do you feel like a nobody
Looking inside to be a somebody
Do you feel like you're on the outside looking in
Like a loser that will never win
Is this what you think
Is this how you feel
Thinking that this isn't real
Hoping it will be the end
But you will always have a friend
To let you know you are not alone
To put you in a positive tone
This is how you should feel
Do you feel alone
Though the good in you has now grown
To know that you found your way
To know that you will change today
Now you can say "Hello world"
Because you are not the only boy or girl
Now you're not alone
