POETRY
Everyone thinks it's some kind of act,
Before ever considering the actual impact.
It wasn't my mind that made me weak.
Everywhere I turned made me feel like a freak.
I wasted my life and put them first.
Now me dying is something I've rehearsed.
The last time I saw him, he acted so proud.
Took all he could; then walked out and joined the crowd.
I begged him and told him how sorry I was,
All he does is ignore me and hates me just because.
Instead of fighting just so I can fail.
I think I'll take my chances just going to hell.
They can all pretend like they tried to help,
Even at the top of my lungs, no one heard me yelp.
I couldn't find free income or live some happy life,
I've been working since day one, and only found more strife.
I refuse to call some hotline or take a bunch of pills,
Just for a life of bullshit and thirty second thrills.
I wasn't looking for attention or some sympathy,
Maybe a little understanding, and some empathy.
They were the only reason I ever wanted more,
Now my life is dark and worse than it was before.
