1. Helping and guiding friends through their tough times and making them happy makes me feel benefited.

2. Frustration from Him Things are going the wrong way, Which makes me frustrated. Always fighting and never right, Not together for very long. Hurting each other with words. Words that fly around our ears Stinging them as they enter, And staying deep in our minds forever. “And I step to the edge, To see my world below.” I don’t like what I see.

3. Frustration from Him After I stepped out to see who I was, I became ashamed. Ashamed of me, Of what I became. I was evil wish my actions, Even though the world was evil to me. Stopping to think is what I do, Never hurting or scaring. I face my frustration, so I face myself. I see me sending hurtful words To people who have hurt me. “I feel like I will never stop Just go on forever.” Not even thinking to myself.
