Why am I here? Why, why —
For what purpose does it wend?
To push me further away from people?
Show me all their negative traits
Let me know how undesirable I am
How much a FREAK I am
Telling me, how I don’t belong
Why do they pretend wanting me here?
Am I a filler for the little holes they have?
Gee-Whiz! I’m nothing but a f*** plug
Perhaps, this was all I was meant to be -
An object that’s used & abused to suit
Maybe, luck will rule and I die - FAT CHANCE!
Why should I remain? - why -
I know not what they appreciate
About who I am & what I do
It appears so insubstantial or true
Surely I must keep some hope alive
You FOOL you! They are killing you
They’re tearing you to pieces inside
They’ve never treated you as an equal
All they show and want is a TOY

I have to say, this poem didn't make me that angry (although I could clearly feel your anger); in fact, this poem made me feel so unbelievably sad an helpless. This is an amazing poem, I don't think I even have words to do it justice.
