I tried to be better
But you made me feel worse.
I tried to improve
But you held me back.
I tried to climb up
But you tore me down.
I tried to be enough for you
But this could never be.
When you left me
You tore out my heart.
I gave you my trust
And you lied to my face.
I struggle to heal
From this hole in my chest.
It holds me back
Just like you did
As I try to progress
In my relationships.
Beautifully complex
Yet seemingly simple
It flows from fingers and mouths
It flows from metal and wood
It floats on the breeze
Swaying the leaves in the trees
A bow on a string
Ya know
Sometimes I don’t think
That things will ever get better
Sometimes I don’t see
How they really could
But I’m not always like that
Sometimes I think
“Maybe someday”
“Maybe it will improve”
Hello
My name is Jaden
I am fifteen
And this is a poem
About me
About how I feel
Being a teenager
In 2025
Distance
Rain
Endless nights
With no end in sight
