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.

Hello Pete

Your words were very troubling and I can only hope that you are able to look forward and are able to find someone to help you through.

"The source of love is deep in us
and we can help others
realise a lot of happiness.
One word, one action,
one thought, can reduce
another person's suffering
and bring that person joy"

I hope you can reach out and find what you are looking for. I wish you well.

Take care......Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Hello Petey,
Life doesn't have to be a waste. Your poem made me look inside of me for any of my own life that I might waste, though. Even something as little as how I speak to myself. Thank you for sharing.
