Unwanted

I feel like feces in a toilet
unwanted and flushed away
like a rotten egg; scorned
cracked and then thrown away
maybe even like spoiled milk
one taste and i make you sick;
then i'm thrown away
i'm like a bugger in your nose
you just got to get rid of me
like pigeon poop
you wouldn't want me to touch you
it's funny
because to me, you're
like a million bucks
i'll want you all the days of my life
but to you;
i'm just a tissue
that you use
and then,
throw
away

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I'm sorry that you feel so bad. Think about this. If I walked over to my cat and said to her,"You are nothing but a piece of____." Would she be one just because I said that to her? Likewise, you aren't any of those things that you say you feel like. You are a child of God. You have worth and are valuable to your Heavenly Father. He loves you. Lovingly, Dane

How sad that your father makes you feel this way, LaTisha. I hope the two of you find a way to get closer. Life is short, each day is precious. Bless you, Carolyn
