Hate My Life

Every day I say: I hate my life today. I wish I’d never say I feel such things and ways. But what can I do If it’s all too true? And when did it come true? I’m asking me, not you. There’s nothing YOU can do To change my mind Or change my life. I wish that it was true That ANYONE could do ANYTHING for me To change the way I see How much my life sucks, How very much I buck My terribly awful luck To hate my life so much. I feel I’ve lost all touch, Lost every bit of trust Things will ever change Since life’s become so strange. Indeed, it’s quite inane I always feel insane When I am not to blame My life has turned this way. The one who is to blame Is so much more than lame, Though I won’t state his name. I know you’d feel the same If your life was this way.

Thanks for sharing your honest poem. And you're probably right, no one else can change the feelings for you, and feelings are what they are. May you have those that stand beside as you travel this season. J

Well, my life is mine. Friends and lovers come and go but I always appreciate good company. ME! Writing is cathartic so let it all hang out, Jennifer.

I let TOO MUCH hang out; I wrote 100,000 words of poetry over the last year. Thanks for the comments.
