Me, Myself, and I

It’s hard to describe the grief I’ve encountered/ I’m 18, lived a thousand lives and pain’s devoured/ My soul and stripped away my serenity/ They say, “Everything happens for a reason”/ Was it meant to be, my season to encounter sinister entities?/ Was the world created to torment forever,/ To leave you under the weather, praying for better?/ Well I’m down on my knees begging for mercy/ Lord why do you continue to let everyone I love hurt me?/ I have a father who loves only pills to get high/ He doesn’t care for me, I merely pass by/ I asked a girl to marry me, she was my dream/ I gave her my heart, soul, and my love to an extreme/ I gave her the world, materialistic dreams/ I stood by her side when she was in trouble/ I protected her, I thought we were a destined couple/ When I got my feet dirty I looked to my side/ I couldn’t see her, thought maybe she liked to hide/ But come to find out she was nowhere to be found/ She was never there for me, just feed off me like a hound/ She leeched all of me she could find/ Then she simply moved to another victim, with me out of mind/ I’m left alone with a part of me forever scared/ I will move on, but I cry because it’s so hard/ I think I’m better off now just being alone/ Better to keep a part of my heart sewn/ I feel I’ll never be able to love again/ So, it’s me, myself, and I until the end/

What a beautiful poem. I am sorry you have had to endured such suffering. I am 18 myself and I have had my share of troubles. I hope you find happiness soon. You rightfully deserve it. Keep praying and I'm sure God will hear you. Plus it's a new year; perhaps better things are in store. I hope you continue to write for us all. This is a marvelous poem. Always, Laura
