A/N: Okay, so this is really hard for me because this is really the first time I've ever written anything about my personal life and put it up anywhere. I won't say too much about what this poem is about, but it's basically my life up till this point. So tell me what you think, I know it's not the greatest poem ever written and I can't rhyme to save my life, but enjoy! And remember this is my first poem EVER, so if you could be honest, but nice at the same time that would be great. And please review and let me know what you think. Okay thanks.

Fourteen Years After

One year after

You are a mere child of three

with not a care in the world.

You don't know what's happened

or what it means.

You're just an innocent little girl

sleeping peacefully in your bed.

Five years after

Now you are older, seven years old

You start to question your life.

"Why does everyone else have a mommy?"

"Where is my mommy?"

But it doesn't seem all that important now

and you fall asleep at night, same as always.

Eight years after

At ten years old, it now all makes sense.

She passed on when you were a baby.

You don't know why or how,

you just know that it is what it is.

You think about her, even though you never knew her

and at night, you cry yourself to sleep.

Twelve years after

At fourteen years of age,

You're confused about being a teenager, and that doesn't help.

You're mad at yourself, at God, at everyone.

Enough so to think, "Anything is better than this."

So you try anything to get out, and be with her in another life.

You then end up sleeping in a hospital bed, asking yourself, "Why me?"

Fourteen years after

You're sixteen, with much to look forward to

Proms, college, basically, life.

You're still recovering, of course, and have no idea what will happen next

But you now know she would want you to be happy

So you think back to everything that has happened

and write it all down before falling asleep.

A/N: Okay so let me know what you guys think! And tell me what you think it's about, although I think it's kinda obvious, but maybe that's just because it's my life, I don't know. Okay so thanks for reading and remember review please!
