The Hard Part

Fighting a battle all on my own
I was chosen for reasons unknown

They push me into lockers and make fun of my hair.
Come home crying but mother doesn’t care.
She says I need to quit whining and pissing them off.

Father can’t even feed himself,
every time I see him he is drunk of mad.
Never really had a reason to call him “Dad”

Too nervous to complete my homework,
once an A student now failing.
These kids can be so cruel,
I am now considering dropping out of school.
Government won’t let me so there goes option two and three.

Only choice I have now is one,
prescription drugs aren’t that hard to come upon.
Take one or two, I’m out for a while.

Take the whole thing and goodbye tomorrow.

Those last lines really hit me hard. Take one or two, I'm out for a while. Take the whole thing and goodbye tomorrow. That just really hit me like a train. A BIG train. THis is so great, soemthing I can really REALLY relate to. Keep writing because there are people like me out there who are listening.

Thanks! But these aren't my feelings. I wrote them from another perspective.

If these are your feelings, hold on, hold on, you were once an A student, dont let anyone take that away from you. You are clearly smart and hardworking, you are a bueatiful writer. So hold on and know people out there cares about you, I care, so that's one. Don't let them tear you apart, they're hurting to and so they're trying to release their pain onto you, I would know, Ive been in your situation. Hold on, you are bueatiful and can never be replaced
