Testing Poem by Amanda Eckols

I look for help but it cannot be found
a hand reaches out to push me back down
cold wind blows chills me to the bone
too sad my heart is already stone
ice that burns fire that freezes
in a mixed up world there’s no such thing a freedom
life is cruel there is no reason
from death comes life
the strongest will survive, the weaker will die
its true even of humankind
more or less its all the same
pause rewind you can only press play
life wont wait time can’t be undone
love breeds hate hate turns to love
i worry and Im just a kid
we're all God children even the old
never met your father well here you go
emotions are crazy, hormones run wild
murder is a passionate crime
to kill oneself it to love so deeply
but the world is different no-one see it this way
