Afflicted

Last battle for all the admitted.
For all those on drugs addicted.
Avoid me like a disease, like a plague.
Stay away from me.  I'm afflicted.

For me a life's a waste.
Never been liked, never been needed.
I never knew the taste of one kiss.
Don't tell me again, I get the jist.
No way you'll prove you wrong.
But it was for me especially this curse was fitted.
This curse of the afflicted.

Anthem, standard, motto and call.
Alone I stand and alone I fall.
I will only die with no one at all.
I just don't fit in, hidden in my shroud.
Can't comiserate, don't belong in the crowd.
In one thing I know I can't be proud,
Being needed, being accepted, being loved and all that.
But I can only go on, without looking back.
Looking back hurts be too bad.
I hope my affliction takes me away soon.
Resting in peace, surrounded by the cemetary gloom.
-Petey

Those who live by the sword, get shot by those who don't.

Great poem always nice to see some maudlin poems keep it up!

Solipsism saves us from the atavism of the Equalitarian.
