I live this life with meaningless hope
No way of success, only failure
The weight of my family forever holding me down
The burdens of my past indirectly affecting the here and now.
I am useless, just occupying space in this world
that could have been given to someone else.
I am not here for any good purpose, but neither by accident.
God has me here as a reminder of the cosmic failure
some of us humans have become.
Just a giant flab of meat, a waisted body, a waisted soul.
We say there are no mistakes, but alas, there are.
Plenty of mistakes are here on earth, for I too am a mistake.
But if that is so, then how would life have been if I was never here?
What events would have transpired? And what things would change?
But I have a purpose, don't I?
I must be a movie star, a singer, an athlete, I must be a millionaire.
Without these things, I am nothing, and I feel like nothing.
I wish someone would help me, help me feel like a somebody.
Help me feel like I belong in this world.
But alas, there is no one to help me, no one that cares.
I no longer need to be here. I must do something. But what?
How can I make this world a better place?
I have my answer. I will end the world's pain and the world's misery
By getting rid of it's problem, me. No one will miss me. No one will care.
I will go in my father's room, grab my father's gun,
And end my pathetic life. No one will notice me gone.
And maybe, just maybe, I will help the world.

This poem is sad and yet descirptive it tells the story of a young man who lost all hope not because he doesn't know what he wants to do in his life maybe his parents are bugging him to make a choice in his life and maybe that's why there is anger in this poem and maybe it makes his self worth to a all time low.. very well done I felt the emtion in this poem.. great job..

Awe, this is so sad. We all feel this way and unfortunately, it's our parents making us feel this. I used to think the same thing until I had my daughter. She's fixing to be 12 soon and now I realize why I had to go through the things I went through. I had to experience moments like this so I could help her later in life. I tell her everyday that she is meant for something great. She believes it too. There greatness in you also.

So sad...someone would miss you! There is always someone out there. We all have family that we are ashamed of those that say they love us and turn, but I also know there is one person we can always talk to even if it is not family. Be well in your thoughts...
