Life is Never What it Seems

At nights you cry yourself to sleep,
Because your expectations were too weak,
And now you’re held on by a strand,
Because you’re willing and you can,
And the cuts are way too small,
For them to even care at all,
So they pay you no mind today,
As you stumble then you lay,
Beneath the shadows of your dreams,
Life is never what it seems.

The author's comments:
My poem that I created is about suicide. But not suicide in a sense of death, but instead a sense of regret. It is stating that all of the signs were there but no one seemed to pay attention until it was too late. Not only was the child gone, but their dreams too.
