Nobody's Daughter

mtrotter1

I listen to sad songs

In order to confuse my mind,

For I remind myself not to be happy

For happiness doesn't exist;

Do we live in a world that doesn't care?

For both my parents are dead,

So why shouldn't I be dead?

For I'll be less of a burden...

My greatest revelation is facts

For the roses don't grow all the time

I just want to express myself

Without being judged

And somebody turn off the lights

For I shall disappear

And all the world will never see me, again

My mother was a crackhead

And my father was a deadbeat

I wonder if I am a deadbeat on this earth

Some people say that death is painless

Well I shall die a painless life--

For life is painless when you don't feel anything

Am I supposed to die this very minute

Or am I supposed to die after a long day's fast?

For I've been fasting my whole life

For a love so true,

But when am I going to get my star?

Tomorrow can be any day of the week

And I am skinny to the point of shock

And hopefully I will be skinnier by tomorrow,

For tomorrow my heart-shaped box

Shall rot;

And yes I am hurting

Hurting to the point of no return

My eyes are bloodshot from no sleep

And my dead parents make promises

They can't keep,

For I hear them in my dreams

Screaming at me

They must know that I'm dying too

For I am nobody's daughter, except God's

And he is always there for me, more than ever

So why do I feel this treacherous way?

Well maybe it's because I had shitty people for parents

And none of them gave a crap about me

And I am forced to live this lie;

Why must they lie to me about life?

For life is worth skeletons

And I shall be the next one

Under the grave...

Dear God, will you give me roses at my funeral?

For I trust you more than anybody else;

For you are my only friend in the world

And no one else,

For everybody else betrays me and my peace of mind

Who needs this world anyway?

  • Comment from author about the poem: Dear God, I would love to go to a paradise away from here. Who needs this world and all its troubles? I've been praying for this for a while. To die and to never be remembered, because nothing I do is valuable to my family or so-called friends. I give up on myself, for I've been defeated so many times. And I am broken, bruised, shattered, and misused. I am so defeated in life; I just want to rot in my sadness. I am not happy in life, though I pretend to laugh and smile. My world is already shattered, and I want to go home to the heavens above. I feel like the whole world hates me; I feel like I haven't accomplished anything in life. I'm sure many others know how I feel. For I am not the only one feeling this way. The world makes me feel like a prisoner, and I am desperate to be free. I want to soar like a bird, I want to feel no pain, I want to feel eternal peace in my heart. I want to be in heaven with you, God. For you are my glory, and I praise you dearly. I want to fall off the ledge freely into the sunset. I want to be with you. Thank you God for always listening to my prayers, hopefully one day I will meet you, and hold you in my arms. Right now, I am depressed. Right now, I want my sleep to be eternal. I don't want to wake up.
