What do you do? (poem)

What do you do when you have a friend,
their problems are showing but they keep them within
You see that they're suffering and you want it to end
but you don't know what to do or where to begin?
Tell me what do you do?

What do you do when there's pain in your life,
you try everything to make it seem right
you look but it doesnt appear to be in sight
and you know it's day but there still is no light?
Tell me what do you do?

What do you do when you need some help,
you can't afford to live or even feed yourself
you say "change will come" but you don't believe yourself
You cant depend on anyone and don't feel you need yourself
Tell me what do you do?

What do you do when you lost someone you care for dearly?
You think of them everyday and pray that "they can just hear me"
That one inspiration who understood you clearly
and you realize that they'll never again be near me.
Tell me what do you do?

What do you do when you cant stand up?
You swallow your pride and man up.
Go to the lord with your hands up
and ask him what he demands of us
That's what you do!

Why Am I Not Satisfied? (Poem)

Over the past years, I've been relatively successful, most would agree.
I've been captain of football, won the leadership award, and got a 25 on my ACT.
It seems most would be jealous, and even want to be me.
So why am I not satisfied?

I've been tempted by death and I still lead a life.
Things people could only dream of, I've done these things twice.
I've been that person people lean on when they need advice.
So why am I not satisfied?

I've succeeded where others failed.
Triumphed where none have prevailed.
I've sail where none have sailed.
So why am I not satisfied?

I am not satisfied because I have not tried
I walked in the water, while others have dived
If you put your success by your ambition, and drive
set them up as a fraction and chose to divide
Will you be happy at what you see, or respond like I've?
And at the end of the day, be not satisfied?

My Aspirations (POEM)

I aspire to be great through high school and college.
I aspire to excel and gain immeasurable knowledge.
I aspire to be successful at my ventures even after I've fallen.
I aspire to be ME.

I aspire to meet anyone, who in my life will be influential.
Someone who'll help me reach my full potential.
Someone who'll help me turn my flaws into tools that are instrumental.
Someone who'll help me find how to be ME.

I aspire to find someone who's looking for me.
Who don't share my same eyes but see what I see.
When it comes to being their own person, this person's that, completely.
This person is someone who is in need to meet me.
And though I am whole this person completes me.

I aspire to meet someone who has a fatal attraction.
I aspire that person from the movie, that "lights, camera, action."
That special someone who's the addition to my subtraction.
This person I aspire give me what I'm lacking.
And this person I aspire, her name's SATISFACTION.
She's whats aspired by me!
