Feelings are Complicated

Author's Note:One day I was feeling really down, so I wrote this poem describing how I feel.  As I was writing one line kept popping into my head, and it's how I chose to end the poem. It may seem as if there is more good than bad, but those few good things make up for the millions of bad thoughts. 

Sometimes I feel as if...
I am drifting away
I am alone
The world is out to get me
I want to scream
I don't belong
I will never belong
I can't do anything right
I am a failure
I don't have a purpose

Then I see my friends
And I feel as if...
Elated
I have a purpose
I did something right
I am successful
I fit into the puzzle

  2. Thank-you! Not all the time, no, but sometimes life can just really suck. You know what they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Well, life gave me a crummy day so I wrote a poem. :)
