Any empathy or all apathy?

---

Sometimes I know, I'm not going to make it and I cant handle My future 'cos I've fucked up my past. So I'm going to live my Rock and Roll lifestyle now- And take all the risks I have to. Sometimes I know, I'm far too weak to handle anything - without support Drink, Drugs or Friends I suppose. So I'm going to live my Rock and Roll lifestyle now- And take all the risks I have to. Sometimes I know, I'm digging my own grave... Ben Gunn 16.03.86

I really like the work, but it is rather depressing. The poem itself is good, repition works here. However the topic is sad. I believe in living for the moment while thinking about the future. Realize that no one action can dictate your entire future.

I like this one a lot! I can totally relate, the past always haunts you. Bring me the drugs and booze, and I am one happy son of a [censored]. I like the simplicity in the words...it makes the poem more straight forward, which is great. Good work.

“Sometimes I know, I'm digging my own grave...” Choosing rock and roll life style with the drugs and drinking is digging your own grave, sure it’s cool careless and apathetic but have a little empathy to your life...Your past has nothing to do with your future and that’s not an excuse to give up on a decent life .. chosing the easy way destroys it …anyway about your poem , I liked the repetition in it and the title , you've put it in the right type : being a teen ...nice work
