you lose

by ALICIA - Cancer

im okay today
although nothing is going my way
i have made the peace to remain sane
even though life puts me through a tremendous amount of pain
i try to understnad alhtough nothing is explained
through all of this unfairness a leveled head i maintain
im open to suggestion if any is brought about
but even in my optomistic viewpoint shines a little doubt
i look into my invisible future with it's dark swollen eyes
and i start telling myself lies
like everything will happen naturally just you wait and see
i look in the mirror and see less and less of me
i was always the goos girl responsible and tall
i was always expected to be so big in a world so small
i have been there for others in my own weak pain im suppose to be so strong
even though im only nineteen i feel so old like ive been here for so long
why am i pressured to do things i have little knowledge of like sex drugs and a faith up above
why is it expected of me to lead a bright life
to bare children cook clean to become someones wife
what was i suppose to do when my whole world was crashing down
put on a smile be happy and make little sound
everyone else was allowed to go insane
i was the one expected to hide all the pain
others dealt by hurting the ones around them they could not see
im my mourning i did only things that would later hurt me
now im in hell and my life is destroyed
all my mistakes eat at my heart and leave a void
the emptiness and loneliness does not go away
daily i wonder what compels me to stay
i need the empty spots to go away for my life to make sense
my future is like this horror movie keeping me in suspense
i thought i understood my life but now i feel confused
i feel like god stuck his middle finger up and yelled you lose

Reason for writing:

    im confused about my future and now im not sure what im gonna do in the future so i needed a outlet to express my pain and that outlet is poetry for me
