I

I am not here

I am not alive

I do not fit in

I cannot survive

I have no future

I have no friend

I will never be anything

And I cannot pretend

I am a loser

A pathetic being

I am ignored

I am not seen

I am not cool

I am not smart

I have no one to love

Or to break my heart

But I am a person

I can feel pain

A sense of worthlessness

A sense of blame

Your words hurt

Your words kill

From here on out

It’s all downhill*
