I Don'T Like

I don’t like this.
I don’t deserve it either.
Everyone else has someone good.
I have a disease from the hood.
I don’t want it anymore.
I hate to see it walking through my door,
Pain, strife, not treating me right.
Wanting badly to be someone’s wife.
It seems that I hate being me, 
Because I always get mistreated.
I don’t like this,
But I won’t declare to be defeated.

"Disease from the hood" I like that line...:].... I know it can be hard to break away from a bad situation. Keep your head up and someone will seek you out and sweep you off your feet..... Never except defeat......:}....:JP]
