It’s hard for me to see sometimes
Through this mist of anger
And if I try to push it away
I know it’ll just grow strong
Built by years of heart ache
And tears cried time and time
Again
So I force myself to wonder
Why one more time
I long to leave it all
And runaway and hide
No one needs me here
For all they know I’ve died
I am a worthless heap of flesh
But still I have the since to know
That what I live with just isn’t
Right for me
So I think God for my window
My twenty-four hour escape route
I throw some things into a bag
And throw away my doubts
I reach for the window, take
Out the fan, push out the screen
And jump into freedom
Never to be seen again.

Life is a process and a constant challenge for sure.
Keep that window open....there is always more to see than meets the eye.  

Your poem is hardly worthless, and I enjoyed reading it.  Don't ever deal yourself out!!!

A voice of honesty
