I Am Not Worthy

By gracefullytorn



My mother says I move as if I'm dead
The only response I can think of is
I wish I were
I'm given food but I won't eat
I do not deserve to nourish this body
this body that has betrayed me and my family
I do not derserve love or hope or dreams
because even if there was a God
he'd cast me aside
I am so horrible and selfish
so unforgiving and meaningless
the only point to living is to die
so i dont understand why it takes so long
I hope the end is better than the beginning and middle
even if it were I would with hold it from myself
because only bad comes from my joy.

    this seems so sad and quiet and utterly devoid of hope. you wrote it well, and you aren't alone in these feelings.
