Behind the Anger

I’m angry at God, my friends, but mostly myself. Each day, I wake up wondering what my purpose is and why I belong with you, with him, with them Or just why I belong… here. Everyday I walk further… Further away from reality, from happiness, from truth Just to get a moment of silence from the noise of obligation, responsibility and commitment… and all the things I need, but can’t handle. I walk towards darkness, where no one can see the tears, where I can fade away and be forgotten. I live a life in which I am loved so dearly beyond my knowledge… Loved so much that now, they’ll start to hate me. Because everyday that I make it easier on myself, I make it harder on them. And without a word, I know… that they’re hurting inside and when I catch them looking I don’t wanna smile I don’t wanna give them false hope that I’d finally be the person they want me to be. And in my anger, I hope to hide that deep down, I’m hurting too. Because it’ll only hurt them more. I only hurt the ones who love me most So when my eyes meet theirs, I beg for them to hate me Because then, maybe… They can let me go

yes it's easier not to care when you no longer love someone, i know that you may be going through some tough times, but be glad that people love and care for you, and learn to love yourself, then maybe you will feel worthy of receiving love, and Jehovah God is never to blame when things go wrong in our lives, this poem is full of love and pain, take care i will keep you in my prayers, D-nyce
