The Day I Stopped Believing Poem by mona martinez

i hate to admit it,
i hate to say it,
that the only why,
i'm the way i am,
is because of me,
i have myself to blame,
i did nothing to change,
only hate what going on,
with my life,
and everything that not right,

but, i put myself in the same spot,
letting life get the best of me,
until somebody open my eyes,
and show me what i'm doing to myself,
only make me realize,
what am i doing?
nothing but throwing away life,
watsing time away,
instead of changing life,
when life is too short to cry,

changes need to be made,
and i'm just sitting here,
making excuses for,
why i can't do,
what my mind want me to do?
mind over body,
RIGHT! !
why don't it seem that easy?
to do what i use to do?
nothing change except,
the day i stopped believing
I CAN DO IT! !
