At Least There is One

Did you know I am a member of the club?
I hate myself.

Downing the Aprozolam won’t help, I am still a nobody.
Downing the liquor won’t help, problem and headaches resurface,
Downing, Downing , Downing, 
It won’t help, I’m still drowning.

I am all alone because nobody loves me.
My mom is in love with herself.
My Dad is in love with Vodka.
My sister is in love with her husband.
My brother is in love with money.
I am all alone because nobody loves me.

On this bus I am nobody,
How it’s suppose to be.
In this grocery store I am an another face,
How it always has been.
In the evening traffic I am another honking horn,
A fact of life.
In the liquor store another dollar,
What has changed?

At home nobody loves me other than the cat.
I hate my cat for loving me.
As if it was its fault for my misery.
Its fault that nobody else wants,
My laughter,
My voice,
My intimacy,
My love.
Nobody wants my love.
Nobody.

My newspapers ad would read desperate and alone
My screams in the dark starry night would be hollow,
My cuts on my leg would bring no attention.
My complaints to the doctor would get me nowhere.
My bar hoping would bring nothing good.
My desperation is spelled out on my face,
My search for love is painted on my cheeks.
So what am I suppose to do?
Live this life out in misery?
Doesn’t seem fair?
Fair?
That’s a joke.
My life is a joke.
I am a joke.

    I think you mean 'bar hopping' and not 'hoping' ... I liked that the title of this poem gave hope to your words this is a hard thing to express and this is a great way of expressing it to the reader - I like the questioning that you use and the effect that it has in making the reader emphasize certain points nice!

    Thank you for entering

    aah, love this poetry.
    That’s a joke.
    My life is a joke.
    I am a joke.

    I loved this.
    I dunno why.
    It was just so amazing how who pointed out how you really really really feel inside.

    I'll tell you what my frustration is!! Every single time I go to type something in this here box, I go to submit comment and find the whole damn thing has gone and I have to type it again!!

    RAAAAAAAAA!

    This was written very well. It's a shame you feel it so profoundly. I can tell you that you are not a joke. You may present evidence that to the world you are a statistic, another day, anotehr dollar, and all. But what about the person you smiled at last? You may have just made theri day and not realized it!
    The people on this here site, reading you, we like it, we read becasue we enjoy your work.
    You are not a joke. You mean something.

    I guess everybody needs to hear that now and again.

    Wow...... I really like it all the only part that was confusing to me was "My newspapers add would read desperate and alone" becasue I think you meant ad not add and all. But over all I really like the poem 4.5 stars by far. I feel the pain because nobody loves me aswell. great job.

    Holy crap...sad and I'm so sorry you feel this way. I hope you find fulfillment in life...it never truly comes from another human being, for all of us will fail from time to time. It has to come from a relationship with the One who truly does love you. He created you, and you are precious to Him. I hope this truth becomes real to you.
