Dear Friends of DART,

Recently, life has been hard for me in a sort of sense. I hit the bottom of life for some reason. I felt I had nothing. I felt worthless and felt I had no value. I felt no one would ever care about me. I talked to someone and they said that you should write poems and see how you feel. Well I started doing that and presenting them to people on Discord who said I should get them published. I read them to the school and I got raved views. Now, I am awaiting a response from a publishing company for my poems in a book. I don't think it will happen(considering my age and the odds of it happening are slim to none), I still feel very rewarded that someone took the time to read my poems

I feel hope in this world and this is just motivation to you that anything is possible. I am 15 years and went from a dark place in my life to now having hope! You can do anything!

So here are my poems to read: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S_OXRpT0MF5IiFEP55D9KUO92eGR21lpJXvTsk0wQEc/edit?usp=sharing

I hope this is some sort of motivation for you to start your Saturday

Life can be terrible sometimes. More like 70% of the time if I'm being honest. Good to know you managed to overcome it in a positive and uplifting way. You got some talent there that's for sure.

If you don't mind me asking . . .

While everyone steps over us
Or ignores our troubles
A faint smile in distance
Whiter than a fresh pack of golf balls
Straighter than a 180 degree angle
A smile so bright
The sun would be jealous
The only person that notices me in the mud
Helping me up from life's harsh ways
To give us a hug
And say it’s ok
Laugh with us
Sing with us
Dance with us
Make the world's problems go away
An angel sent from heaven
Eyes blue, like ocean waves dancing
Long and brown, like one of the craziest water slides

Who IRL are you referring to here?

Ask out can mean anything from asking her on a date, asking her to be your girlfriend.
As soon as reasonably possible means the next time you have a reasonable opportunity to talk to her without any unrelated pressing concerns that would get in the way (i.e. you're going on vacation, she's in the hospital, etc)

That's about all I can think of!

"You've hit the bottom of life" ... that's actually laughable. You have no clue what that truly means.

It's a typical teenager up and down. Trust me it always gets better. I've seen hell, so to someone like me it's kinda offensive you even think you have it bad. So, cheer up and look at your negatives in life as a blessing, bc trust me they can truly be darker.

I see the point here and I am understanding here.

A lot of teens have been through hell though
I AM NOT IMPLYING I HAVE SO DO NOT QUOTE THIS VS MY CASE

So simply stating it's a teen thing is very errogant(no offense but that is a stigma we teens try to break)

Some teens had it worse.

My friend lost his best friend due to suicide. He was the same age as me. He had to pay for his moms drunk driving bills and had to work 2 jobs while my friend abandoned him thinking he was a loser who did not wan't to work out. This kid lost his dad a year ago and would get bullied by it.

I do not to go feminist triggered, but to say it's teenager shit is a negative stigma even though teen suicide is at it's highest ever

I was one of those teens... don't presume i don't know what i am talking about. From what you wrote and the moment after the happiness you are showing of the book deal, it sounds like an up and down moment. I was only talking about you... If you were tortured this little moment of happiness wouldn't mean anything to you, at all. That's how i know. You very well could still be... i'm only judging off this little instance. But from what i'm seeing, it doesn't look like you have demons that torment you.

I know u probably know what u r talking about and tbh didn't think you directly referred to it to me. i thought in general you were talking about darknesss in adult life and how teens going through up and downs

It boosted my spirits now for sure. I mean it is a big deal for me. But I was in a dark place, but I can adapt and overcome it and that is how

I know i may have come off strong, but i was actually doing so with good intention. I want you to know to accept your dark moments as ups and downs so you are reassured they are always a phase. Bc in most cases at your age they are. If i got the feeling you were truly tormented, i wouldn't have come at you like i did. Bc i would know it wouldn't matter what i said. But for you, i think you have a light in you that's why i think it does matter. So i know you will always go up... just reminding you, if you do think about those dark moments, they really aren't that bad... they actually strengthen you every time you beat through them. Of course beating a darkness as i have strengthens one too (so that's a universal rule i think)... but one, it isn't good odds, and two i hope you, or anyone for that matter, never has to.
