"My name is Jeff!!"


I saw you crying yesterday
Don’t worry. It’ll be okay
I wanted to say something, anything
But that thought just seemed so menacing
So I sat quietly, waiting
Putting my thoughts into this poem I was creating
It’s about this girl who thought she was ugly
I could tell she was struggling
And I sat, idly by
Waiting for the tears to run dry
Silent, not saying a sound
I could tell her heart weighed heavy.
She suffered. Depression is deadly.
I didn’t know exactly what was happening
But I know the signs. It saddened me.
I wanted her to smile, I wanted her to laugh
I didn’t want her to go down the same path
I know her pain
Distrust ingrained
Do you know what it’s like?
Have you died inside?
I have, and so did she
I got the message she was sending me
She just needs someone there
To be around, no one cared
She will get better, but how?
Because, frankly, I’m here now
She can cry on my shoulder
I’m here to hold her
I’m trying to help her mend
I want her to know i understand
I’m on your side, I’m your friend
I want to help; my hand extends
All you have to do is take it

It all depends on the length, and content in your writings. It normally takes me about 5 days for them to either publish, or terminate (yes, i have gone a little too hard in a few poems and teenink said nope lol) the writing.It all depends on the day, too

No problem my friend :D. I have a quick question for you...does it usually take a while for the editors to look at you work? I have made many poems and they are all still pending. Thank you for all your advice my friend!

@FluffyPanda427 as did mine. Thank you my friend. One of my biggest pieces of advice for anyone writing anything is that if your heart isn't in it, it is not your best work. Good luck in your writing endeavors, and thank you for your support.

This is an amazing poem. You are an amazing writer, I hope for you to make more poems. They are so heart-warming and gentle, you express how the character is feeling very clearly.
