I feel bad
We all feel so bad
It's the normal thing to do
So let me fall away from life
I've fallen from your grace
Sometimes the sun wilts like a stale candy cain
I am bruised by its rays
It doesn't matter anyways
Tell me how you took away America
I see a patriot with money in his hand
How can I believe in anything of importance
I have such a task to complete
Don't ask for favors
I repulsed by your ignorance
Be blase and proud
Rub my nose in all I've done wrong
I've lived and died by your standards
So maybe you were right
I only have a mortal parent
Why should I sit and fear it?
Why should I hold my tongue
It only makes my mouth dry
I feel bad
We all feel so bad
It's the polite thing to do
So let me fall away from life
I've fallen from your grace
After a time a wound heals
None other than my scars appear
You always said my poetry was bad
You always said I should study more in Math
What does it matter if I say
I think all I do is alright with me
I might have dignity
I never had to use it so
I don't know if it is real
Keep your distance don't catch my disease
You might be more considerate then
Of all things this hurts the worst:
You made me think you cared for me
Another fake empathetic ear
I'm just chatterbox
So just wind me up and let me writhe
It should be good clean family fun
I feel bad

I know that this has no structure what so ever but I wanted to write it like this, like the emotional halluencination that it was to feel it. I wanted it to confuse as I was confused.

Verry good confusing at some parts but good none the less,I have read most of your poems and they have all turned out good keep up the good work.
