Bowery Blues

I am hurt
I am scared
I want to live
I want to die
I don't know
Where to turn
In the Void
And when
To cut
Out


This is an extract from "Bowery Blues" by Jack Kerouac. This poem is too long, and has way too many amazing quotes to write down in one blog. But this one stanza seems to relate to me. Because I am hurt, and scared. I do want to live, and yet I do want to die. And I never know where to turn. Who does, in life? 

This poem and me, we have a lot in common.
