I tried a different style for this one, inspired by an existing poet. It's different to my normal poetry and it isn't perfect, but I'm pretty proud of it. I hope you like it, too.
They tell you to go and to take it with stride,
to press on and hold out and live life with pride.
They want you to wake up and seize every day,
and not spend your hours wishing life away.
But it can be hard, and degrading, and tough,
you think to yourself, "It just isn't enough,
what purpose is it if it's only for me?"
You want resolve and results and rewards you can see.
With hours of shaming and hating yourself,
Just how can you do this with dark thoughts in wealth?
It's not adequate reason
just to do it for you.
Then do it for them,
if it's all you can do.

I think this is one of my favourites that you've posted. I really love the way this reads and the rhyming in it, and I think the message is really good too.
Thank you for sharing.
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
I loved this and I liked how you ended it too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

"Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat,
It’s the rhythm
of your life.
It’s the expression
in time and movement,
in happiness, joy, sadness and envy.
-Jacques d’Ambroise''
You are a very flexible writer in that, though this is a different style to what you normally write, it's still very good! I loved the rhyming scheme and can really relate to this poem with trying to find a reason too. Thanks for sharing
