It Hurts

That all the people in my life do not love me
That they only tolerate me
That as long as I am useful they will have me 
That I am only a means to an end for them
That everything is all about them
That they are around because I have something to offer them
That they only fake their emotions
That they don't give a damn about my emotions
That they will not accept I have limitations 
That all they are interested in is what I have to share
That upon all I do they still don’t care
That in this life my fate depends only on how I can fare
That none of their smiles are for real
That all I have with them is an 'I will please u' deal
IT HURTS

So sad for you, Bless. Maybe writing on PoetrySoup will help. You will read other people expressing similar emotions. Welcome.
