These are 13 reasons I want to wake up each morning.

I recently read the book "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher. The book is about a girl who commits suicide and, through several tape recordings she made right before killing herself, tells thirteen intertwining stories (reasons) of why she decided to end her life. I definitely recommend it.

After finishing the book, I sat down and wrote some things of my own.

Poem 1

Do you see me
Would you notice if I was gone
Would you wonder what happened
Would you worry if I never returned
Or would you forget all about the girl
The girl who sat alone waiting
Waiting for someone or something
Something that could have saved her
Someone who could still save her

Poem 2

Where are you
The one I'm waiting for
Whoever will save me
I'm stil waiting
Trying to stay positive
Trying to stay strong
But it's getting harder and harder to try

I'm still waiting for you
I believe in time I will find you
Our hearts will find each other
I hold on to hoping
That each day brings us one step closer

Poem 3

Do you know me
You may think you do
You may know me better than others
You may know alot
But you don't know everything
You don't know the secrets that I hide
You don't know about the pain inside
You don't know about the tears I cry
And that sometimes it gets so hard to try

Poem 4

I feel lost, alone
Are you trying to find me
Did you try
Did I just let you pass me by
Did I miss my chance
Miss the opportunity for me and you to become us
Am I now destined to roam forever alone

What about second chances
