Why Am I Here

The depression is strong
Sometimes I wonder why
I was even born
I’m nothing but a stressor 
in most people life

I make one mistake after
another in life
I keep thinking I found 
love just to have my
heart ripped out and
handed me on a silver platter

Why am I here
Why am I even alive
I’m nothing but a burden 
to everyone in my life

I’d be better off dead
rather than alive
Yet I am still here
even when I don’t 
want to be

I just keep asking myself 
these days “Why am I here?”
I would like to know

Michael Tor September 6, 2022 at 5:15 AM Julie so sorry to hear your pain. We all make mistakes in life. Everyone makes them we learn from them and move on. It is nice when you have supportive friends and family reach out to them for help, they care and love you. More importantly turn to Jesus he loves you more than anything and he feels your pain. Pray for comfort and peace and protection against those that hurt you. Reach out to him he will help you and resolve your situation. God bless you and know we all care for your well being.

Anna Marie Kaianah September 6, 2022 at 12:27 AM A very deep poem Julie. I know you don't see it yet, but you are here for a reason. Yes, we keep on making mistakes doesn't we are a mistake. As long as you are still breathing you've made it through another day because YOU have a purpose in this life. ~Anna Kaianah Julie Rodeheaver September 6, 2022 at 12:31 AM Thank you for these words! I have my good days and my bad days. The last few months have been very stressful for me for reasons I can’t talk about at this time. Once again thank you!
