I'm dying inside
You've got no idea
You smile and try to cheer me
I'm beyond that
I'm beyond being touched by your kindness
My friends except so much of me
My school, my family, even my cats
They all want something from me
And I disappoint them day after day
I'm not good enough for this world
I try as hard as I can
Getting A's on test isn't enough
Trying to help my friends with school work isn't enough
Trying to smile isn't enough
Trying to run as fast as I can isn't enough
I'm put down
I'm told to leave it to others
I'm told to just give up
What's the point?
Why bother?
There's people who are disappointed
Yet, they still won't let me die
They won't let go
No matter how hard I try
I'm just not good enough
At this rate, I'll never be
When I speak, no one hears
They couldn't give a damn
They don't care about what I have to say
My words
My feelings
They couldn't careless about me
Why try?
Why bother?
Didn't I already give up hope?
What did I do that was so wrong to have to be born?
We all have a religion
And did you ever notice?
All have a version of Hell
And did you ever wonder?
They said Hell was a place of unhappiness
So is earth
There is so much more pain, tears, and anger in this world
Why bother?
Why try?
Just let go
And die
Let me die
Let the pain end
Let me go
Let me be free
Let me be over
Free me from this place
And let me die

I love this poem! It has great emotion and it makes me sad...I guess that isn't always good but I still like the poem. ha ha. I like the whole hell on earth idea. You may be depressed now but it'll go away soon enough. Just think on the bright side and it'll get better. Good luck!

And yet, when you do die, you'll still be remembered. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
As I read this, I felt like I was back a week or so, when all the problems with Jess really became apparent. The whole hell on earth idea (although clichéd) is probably the best way to describe it, but life has gotten better! As Sparkles has told me, depression is just something that happens for awhile. It may feel like it's gonna last forever, but it doesn't. Move on, and you'll find happiness again. Well, not those exact words, but close to it.
As I said in a past comment, I finished reading a book on witchcraft. I love the whole idea of reincarnation, being brought back to learn a lesson you didn't learn in a previous lifetime. Each life brings you closer to being with the mighty one, or with the higher power. Hell cleanses you. Cleans you. Purifies you. So... why is hell so bad? It might hurt- lots of things do hurt, but we become stronger. We're able to re-live those situations if need be, and zip through it relatively easily.
Your cats demand from you? Is it catnip, the drug made for cats? :D Just kidding!
I LOVE this poem! It makes me feel so desolate and lonely, especially with some sad music going on. I really like how you added that all religions have a version of Hell. If we all have a Hell, doesn't that mean that there really is one? And you're right, Earth and life are just pain and tears as well. Great write, Leigh! Can't wait till your next phenomenal, revolutionary poems!
Welcome !
