Like I've said
I am dead
I've loved, I've lost
I tried, I failed
Fate it seems
Is against me
Or is it God?
Not pulling for me
I don't know
I don't care
It's too late
I am dead
Always the one
For advice
Yet never the one
To be loved.
My dreams departed
My love deceased
My soul dead and gone
My heart forever broken
I am dead
At the very least
I can help
Others to be happy
Just never me
Take on their sorrows
Saving them from woe.
Well lucky them,
But not me
No, never me.
Why though?
I can't say.
Destiny it seems
Written against me.
Experiences
Giving understanding.
So I can help.
Saving others,
While destroying me.
If you are one,
Don't feel bad.
You can't kill me,
I am already dead.
Pain breeds compassion
Causing understanding
Giving birth to empathy.
By this death
I can save life.
No pity needed,
For there is no point.
You can't kill me,
I am already dead...

I can relate to all of this in many ways, and in many times in my life.. my favorite saying for a very long time was "god hates me". thats how I felt, sometimes I still feel that way. love can be beautiful, yet at the same time destructive. life isn't fair is it?? it sucks at times too. I am your friend, I will be here no matter how bad life gets.. its amazing how much a person can learn about their friends, not only through their poems, but through everyday contact, even if we are in another state. we have much in common, thats part of what makes us such good friends. keep releasing all of the painful feelings, sad, whatever is in your heart,soul and mind. you will feel better soon..
