Hi Soupers, I don't feel like this now however I did feel this way at one point in my life.

You made me feel like trash I felt like absolutely nothing I wanted to just disappear I loathed life, I wanted to die Living was a hard task Sleeping was my only peace I tried to kill myself many times But I failed each time Why I am here? Me being born was a mistake Your vicious words were toxic They say over time you heal My heart and soul was broken You can't put a cast over your heart Alexis Y 10-30-18

Alexis, so many of us have been there. I walked with my head down for years, not for how kids treated me, but for how my parents treated me. Since then, I have learned that I am worthy of love. I am worthy of praise and so are you Alexis. Touching poem. Hugs, Susan

Alexis, I am feeling your pain more acutely than you can imagine, for this pain of yours is also my pain, and together we must show our pain, and out the perpetrators, and explain the damage, so the pain can stop, not for us, but for the thousands of others, some unborn. Well done my friend. Well done indeed!

Beautiful melancholy poetry, Alexis. Loved the last line especially. Your truth shines! Mellow flow of serenity these wise words be. Excellent poem. Love and joy always.

Well expressed and thankfully in the past. It hurts to know someone made you feel this way. Take care Alexis :)

When someone makes you feel that way about yourself then they are the pits and I wouldn't give them the time of day. Thankfully Alexis that episode in your life is history. Tom.

Your words evoke the intensity of your feelings then. My anger burns for that monster in your life. Well depicted, Alexis.

This is very sad my friend and it is really sad that anyone would have to feel this way at any time in their lives but I know it happens. Thankfully this is in the past now. Nicely done.
