I fell into an awful situation
that has caused me to feel bad,
I was given no real choice,
the whole incident makes me sad.
Others sit and laugh at me
for the things I say and do,
many have been watching me,
more about it I wish I knew.
Gossip about me circulates
and others take time to lie,
they try to bring me down
as if they want to see me cry.
They call me ignorant
because it's how I handle hurt,
they are just as ignorant
trying to make me feel like dirt.
Inside I feel sad and lonely
I try not to let it show,
I am so sick of it all
I feel depressed and low.
Why must I face my life
and the mess I did not start?
for another's entertainment
I refuse to do my part.
I've been blamed for things
that isn't even my fault,
I may not show responsibility
I know I don't act like an adult.
I'm stuck in a depression
that alone I can't overcome,
who can I trust in life?
some days I feel numb.
A lot of times I feel alone
though my children are still there,
I am thankful for those people
who show that they truly care.
Author notes
I've had bad experiences in life that has caused my depression. It has been a severe depression.
