What About Me?

I’m so very sick of this I no longer have his touch I no longer have his kiss With each passing second He is the one I will forever miss And yet love is supposed to be Happily ever after and filled with endless bliss I’m telling you though I’m so very sick of this I’m completely worn of it She breaks me down Everyday bit by bit Do this, do that When these are her things and she’s perfectly fit To carry the tasks out for herself Being here is taking its toll and handing me hard hits Yet I have no where to go So here is where I sit Day after day, night after night But with every breath I take I’m completely worn of it For so long I’ve cared for everyone else’s feelings But now it’s time I take back control All of this has left my heart, soul, and mind reeling And on the sleeve of my shirt you will find Every essence of me bleeding My mind constantly wonders, thinking of those memories As slowly but surly my precious time now is what they are stealing Put it all back where it should be and move on It’s been too long with me caring for everyone else’s feelings At the end of the day I’m left here saying what about me? Never any answer do I have Just the asking and the questioning Am I not good enough for you Am I not good enough to be me Seems as though you’re ashamed That is until it’s me with whom you need to be Perhaps you should both open you’re eyes But I still doubt at this moment you will ever truly see Just how special I am Just how lucky you are to have had me I’m now trying on my own To get the hell up off my knees Where are either one of you? Hum….you’re over there doing as you please From all what I am, and from these feeling I will always have I long something awful to be free Because as of yet Neither one of you has come to see That at the end of each and every single day I’m the one left here asking what about me? …….one day in the near future or distant time You just may open you’re eyes and search Wondering why it’s me that either of you just can’t any longer find….

You need to live your own life, and let them fit in with you. Say "no, sorry!" now and then - it's a breath of fresh air, believe me! This is a very good and well-structured poem. Thank you for sharing it with us!
