Feeling lonely and sad,

Wondering why I'm bad.

All I do is cry and shout,

Please let me out.

I'm feeling guilty all the time,

When paranoia and anxiety,

Is my only crime.

Mom loves me shouldn't she?

Yes but sadly she hides behind,

The one she's dating at the time.

Now I'm left with my dad,

But he is far away,

Can't help me when I feel this way.

Call you say but you got it wrong,

Mom won't allow that ring to come.

The author's comments:

This features the hardships of life and how you could be left feeling alone and isolated when you feel that life has no meaning anymore and you are guilty because you take it out on others.

@Lydiaq Hey, if it's okay with you could you also work with me on my poems? They're average right now but I want to learn how to make them better and after reading your work (And the fact that you've actually responded but mainly based on your work) I think you're the person I should talk to.
