I remember
when I once bled
red.
Those were the days
when I would smile
for no apparent reason.
I was a happy child.
I didn't know the difference
between wrong and right.
I thought everything and everybody
had a heart.
I guess I was wrong.
I have realized that there are
people in this world
that want to break you down.
There are people that try
their very best to
hurt you.
Life is like a ladder,
you can either climb or fall.
I am falling.
And once I hit the bottom
I know that there is
noway I could ever go back.
I am stoppable.
I am weak.
I mean nothing
to you.
I mean nothing
to myself.
I am the one that
always seems to fail.
I am the one that
never can overcome anything.
I am pathetic.
Useless in all ways.
I am terrible at all
that I do.
Don't even try to pity me.
Don't even try to help me.
Don't even try to save me.
I have already fallen down
lifes steep ladder.
And there is noway
I could climb up again.
I could never show my face
to the world.
They would see that I am
not as strong as I appear.
They would see that I am
Nothing.

I definitely hear the frustration in this piece, and also the fact that you are almost resigned to your falling fate. Very strong but peaceful piece at the same time with a good flow and clear ideas.
Remember that people can help us or make the climb hard, but in the end we decide whether to go up or fall down. There will always be a point in life where you will look back and think that what you are trying to overcome now is much harder than before...we just keep facing bigger obsticles!
Thanks for entering and Good Luck!

great write--i can feel the emotion--
Life is like a ladder,
you can either climb or fall.
I am falling.
those few lines just say so much to me--
but you're not nothing--remember that we're all here for a reason--it may just take us a while to know what that reason is

so hard to care about them
