I'M On My Own

My Life Sucks
Author Dana Redricks
September 15, 2014

Everything I have does not
Belong to me.
The moment I become attached 
To it gets taken away the people
I love, to material things.
I have learned not to get attached 
To nothing because nothing belongs
To me.
I am an orphan living in this world.
I am wanted by none, and what I’ve 
Done cannot be undone.
I’m on my own, and wishing I had a
Clone then I wouldn’t be so all alone.
How did my life start off so wrong?
It’s dark and dreary and empty, and void.
This song of solitude I try to allude,
But it hurts me, and I beg to be free.
If I wasn’t scared of dying; I would
Take the road less traveled, and take
That risk anyway, but I think I’ll take the 
Road less traveled.
