Poems of Overcoming Obstacles

A Big Waste

Sitting here listening

Its quiet

My mind still wonders

Thoughts still come

One after another

I try to push them away

Try to distract myself

It works for awhile

Until I get upset again

Getting upset is the spot

The spot that's tender

Tender and sensitive

She likes to push

Push me off the edge

She says I ruined her life

But how

I'm nothing but nice to her

Yes I have my days

Days where I don't wanna feel 

Don't wanna feel

So why try to push me down

I'm already down

Can't go much further

Already almost fell

And you keep pushing

Almost like it's your life's purpose

Well you almost succeeded

Once I'm gone then what

Are you going to a different one

Someone like me

Who's trying to understand

Understand why them

Why God pick us

We don't feel strong enough

You say we're worthless

Maybe you're right

I feel worthless

But one question

If I'm worthless, why waste your time

It'll be a waste of time

Waste of breath

So just live your life

Don't be a waste

Don't waste it on me

I already put myself down
