Less Than Nothing

Feeling so unwanted and having to keep myself guarded Tired of being used, then completely discarded Left all alone with all of my faith departed Miserable, unhappy, anguished and broken hearted Overreaction to everything that comes my way I am just so tired of being tossed away As if I am something left on the bottom of a shoe Why can’t I get what all the others seem to? Is there a reason I am left here abandoned and alone Dismissed, disrespected, and forgotten by everyone What have I done to deserve this kind of pain? To be so ignored and discarded is worse than being slain This is torture in the truest form and realest sense It’s why I am always walking around so tense And angry at the world for abandoning me And not letting my voice be heard and for failing to see That I am like the rest of you, I bleed just the same Can’t you see the damage you have done? Have you no shame? I am in agony and drowning in my own grief Can you please help me or send some type of relief? I guess this just proves what I have known all my life I am the victim and the world is the culprit holding the knife

A powerful expression of sadness and despair. I hope this is fiction, but if you have been hurt like this I am sorry. Generally people knock others down because they want you to feel as low as they do. I have been verbally abused and have come to realize, it has nothing to do with me. God bless you, Rhonda
