Useless

July 7, 2010
By Anonymous

I believed in loneliness,
I believed that I was right,
I believed the there was no day
Why would the sun waste its light
Helping me find my way?

I was useless,
Unloved and unwanted.
My life was useless,
I couldn't control that it had begun,
But I could control the end.

Oh, I wish you hadn't posted Anonymously so I can go look at your other masterpieces.

These words are nothing but truth. People believe their past will hold them back, but nothing shapes the future but your own willing hands.

Simply lovely. Five stars all the way. :)

Wonderful! It's very dark and very sad, but also very well written. I can relate to it a lot. Great job and keep up the good work! :~)
