The Truth I Live

Born a mistake in your eyes, made to grow believing your lies. Time goes on but my pain does grow, why I am here nobody knows. Everything I touch burns to the ground, even my loved ones I can not keep around. Torn on the inside by the truth that is me, and always feeling nothing I will be. Cause if the one who made me hates me so, then so does the world and now I know. I know I am a joke, a mistake, a lie, and this is the truth I live with till the day I die. By: Angela Holcomb
