Crying Poem

When life just goes wrong. Wondering why I am here and how can life change?

Why Am I Here?

© Raymond Martineau
I lay in bed alone at night and wonder why I'm here.
I do so much for everyone
Why don't they show they care?
I met this girl who said she loved me
something I haven't heard in so long.
She used me for my money
what a ride she took me on.
There is so much hurt I feel, so much anger trapped inside.
Sometimes I wish my dad was here, but to me he's not alive.
I have no one to talk to
These drugs seem to be the only way
Turns out it's a lie just like the smile I put on each and everyday.
I know outside I'm smiling, It's the face I fake for you,
But inside my soul is crying and there is nothing I can do.
I know my family loves me,
I'm there when their decisions are poor.
I'm sick of feeling like this walked on rug thrown upon the floor.
I lay in bed and wonder what the hell I'm doing here
Can I wake up from this dream?
Can I please just disappear?

  • Wow this is really sad, but I know how you feel. I never really heard the words I love you and I fake smiles and wonder what the hell I'm doing here but I try to put all this behind and do things that make me happy and forget everyone else so cheer up friend and I hope everything with you gets better :)

  • I have actually used lines that are almost the same in some of my poems as the one you wrote. It was kind of funny to read this and realize how close and similar feelings can be and the words they turn into.

  • Wow, that broke my heart. When I read it, I just couldn't stop crying. I'm 13 years old, and am depressed everyday. Not wanting to go to school. Everyone is so rude to me, treating my like a dirty rag. They call me names, and push me around. I have no friends in school, so I eat alone, and hang by myself. I usually eat in the bathroom where no one can see me and am safe. Your poem is just..Well wow, it's lovely. And describes me the same.

  • I'm That Girl that everyone thinks is happy all the time, but no this smile is a mask, to hide all the tears I've cried.. My heart has been broken so many times I hope this guy stays and doesn't crush my fragile heart that's already in poor condition.. What am I doing with my life? Will I ever be truly happy? This is my biggest question of all,
    Why Am I Here?
