Only One Reason Poem by Justin Ramirez

There's only one reason why i'm standing here today taking all these soaring bullets coming my way.

If you think I'm a great person or some one who lives happy and well, then there's still a whole lot that you should know.

I may be funny and I may like to laugh and smile, but the truth is this bad streak lasts a mile.

I've done many bad things that I'll always regret, I'm just sitting here wishing I could take it all back.

This world around me seems to be caving in upon me more and more each day. My friends are moving on but I can't because I'm lost in my own ways.

And the only thing I got to show for any thing are these pieces of paper with my thoughts about you on them.

You're always on my mind, you're all i think about. It seems like the only thing I do right is put words in a beautiful form about you.

The only reason I'm standing here today is because you inspired me without knowing it and helped me along the way.

You gave me a reason to be here. You gave me my hopes and dreams.
