I Don'T Deserve

They all tell me I should be happy Tell me that I should live my life Not isolate or detach myself from the world Not to down myself all the time But I don't deserve happiness I don't deserve to live life They tell me I'm amazing or pretty That I'm one of the best people they could've ever met But I don't deserve those titles I don't deserve to have friends Who treat me greatly They all say Say that they will stay They won't agree with what I think of myself I don't deserve them All in all I tell them I'm ugly Annoying Unreliable Lousy Stupid Mean But in the end They don't believe That I don't deserve Deserve to see The life in front of me I don't deserve To be happy Or to live I deserve to be miserable at best

Summer,thanks for your response to my poem.I'm slow in replying cause i;ve been in the high desert cleansing my mind. I've read several of your poems and find them well written and interesting. The topic on this one bothers me .Either you're fishing for compliments to verify your self worth or you think God made a mistake. Neither is true .You are an excellent poet and a good person.I don't like you dissing that person.I love your work.Keep on the positive road.Crossfox

This kind of write speaks of such blight. A desperate soul to find some light. Lost in confusion and loathful illusion. A life with hope to help her cope. If she stays alive, she will survive. To see God's plan he has for her. Then, no longer will life be a blurr.

i sure love to read the emotion in the words that comes when a poet writes,,,it takes me away to a land where words are life,,,,words can be life or death in our world,,,they can love and hate,,,and we write them never knowing how much meaning that they reay have,,,wonderful write my friend....
