Why is life so hard?
It seems like I keep
Playing the wrong card
I always try and pray
For GOD to make my
Problems go away
I feel so alone
I just need to find
My way home
I'm always being taken
Advantage of
No one around me
Shows any love
So why do I stay alive?
I'm strong
And I know I'll survive
I've got me and my writing
It helps me to
Keep on fighting
When people don't care
I just take out my pen
And my paper and share
Writing completes me
It's the person I'm going
To grow up to be

Haha, you're so impatient. Took you 17mins to reply to your own poem. Faster than me! Well I don't know. I don't think you'll get many replies from here on out. It's late. People will reply tomorrow morning....some might show up later but hey.
Anyway I know EXACTLY what you mean by this poem. ALl I gotta say is AMEN SISTA! You took the words right out of my mouth. I feel exactly like this.
In the end, all it is is me and my writing.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Don't be so hard on lilpoet.  I felt the urge to reply to my first poem early.  I actually did, when it started to sink...
A great poem.  I know how you feel on this one, i too used to pray to some "god" for help with my problems.  Try to rely a little more on yourself than on others, and you could see a big change for the better.  Don't pray to your "god" for things that you can make happen yourself.

Seems like your pen, paper, and you are one.  I can tell just by reading your writing.  

"When people don't care
I just take out my pen
And my paper and share"

I feel this way too.  I thought i was the only one.  Now I know that someone else feels the same way about their writing  

thanks for the read

in my oppinion, id rather go to someone that can help right away, God not being one.
if i have a problem, ill prolly ask a family member or friend, thats what theyre for...
great poem
best wishes
