An Untitled Poem

For my first post I decided to pick my favorite poem out of all of the ones I've written. I wrote this during the summer of 2010 and I still haven't come up with a name for it. I hope that you like it.

Time keeps moving on

But I am stuck in place

They say life will get better

Just have a little faith

But I can’t tell who really cares

Are they real or are they fake?

I know when everything falls apart

It can be hard to take

But you must remain steady

Do not let them make you shake

Keep those tears inside your eyes

Don’t let them see you break

The world that we live in is hard

It is not for the weak

Don’t lose hope while you’re locked away

Because one day you will be free

It seems some people are here to learn

But some are here to teach

Don’t get too far ahead of yourself

But don’t be scared to break the leash

They say that happiness isn’t far away

It’s there within my reach

But if it’s really right in front of me

Why can’t it be seen?
