When I was young,
I loved fairytales.
I loved that no matter what,
There was always a happy ending.
But as I got older,
I realized something:
Happy endings don’t exist for everyone.
Everyone dies.
Some people die alone.
Some people die in pain.
Some people
—good people, bad people—
die slow, drawn out deaths that no one deserves.
Happily ever after doesn’t exist for everyone.
No matter how good you are in this life,
Happily ever after cannot always be achieved.
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
I’ve been told I’m not worth it
Am I really going to listen to the words of
Monsters who can’t see that I’m a human
