I’m not that bad at all

Suddenly I see
After all this years
Suddenly I feel
That I have been tricked to believe
That I am not worth it
Now I see
That I’m not that bad at all
I’m not a murder, thieve or a criminal
Is it that hard to tell me
That I am not that bad at all
Is it so hard to look in my eyes and say
You are not that bad at all
So many years where I use to cry
Just to know that it’s not my fault
Did it take that long
To tell me that I’m not that bad at all

I realize now
After so long
My tears was waste
And my thoughts was wrong
I look around and ask ones again
And hope for an answer
But no one seems to care.
So many years where I woke up
And thought about the punish I will meet in the sky
Just to know that there was no punish
Because I was not that bad at all
I thought it all was my fault
And couldn’t see how I did it all
But now I know it wasn’t me
It never was
Was it so hard to tell me that it was not my fault?
Did it take so long to tell me that I’m that bad at all

I woke up this morning
Trying to forget
That I wasted so many years
Trying to punish myself for something I didn’t do
Trying to forget
The nights I spend in the dark room
With the thoughts about my crimes
Which I didn’t do
Today I know
That only a few words could stop the everyday nightmare.
Was is it really that hard to tell me quit that I’m not that bad at all
I’m am trying to forget it all
But how should I forget the tears, the thoughts, the few words
How should I forget
That the people I trusted most
Didn’t even once look back at me to tell me
That I am not that bad at all.

I can really identify with this one. Sometimes others make us feel we're doing the wrong thing when what we're doing is right for us. Be true to yourself and everything will work out ok in the end - even if the road is a little bumpy along the way. Good poem, thanks for posting!

I can relate, too. Nice write.

The tips of my fingers
Start to bleed the thoughts
That overwhelm me

this is a really good poem and I know exactly what you mean.

If you don't like something,
Change it...
If you can't change it,
Change the way you think about it
