Just something I thought about during art class today.
When everytime I think something positive, people still kicked me down.
If you get what I mean..


Negative Life

As I go down
I bring the rest of the world down
With me.
Nothing can stop me from tumbling down
Not even the greatest joy on earth
Its just who I was created to be
This secluded, self pitied
Person, who thinks the world has its weight
On her shoulders
That's not how I wish it to be
That's not how its supposed to be.
Negitivity only leads onward in itself
And I lead onward with it
Trailing behind
Like a lost abandoned puppy
Waiting to find a happy home
But only to find what I had before
Discrimination
Heartache
Sadness
Even if I did see the positivities in life
They'd still think me a lost soul
Because of the black cloud roaming behind every
Footstep I take.

Eli The PoetBay support member heart!
I agree with Rob. Expressing these feelings can have a wonderful way of healing them.

In lines 8 and 9 you also spell out one glaring truth - for me at least. They remind me that our own thoughts - which we always have a choice with; even when a bus is about to run us over (if you can fathom my angle) - are responsible for our reality. Not always easy to accept in a world that offers much confusion and even less respite from that; although perhaps that is one reason why your expression is necessary. Thanks for sharing it.

Self-pity is SO redeemed by acknowledgment, and by poetry! (One poet to another, that is; others may not be so charitable!?)
