Angry At The World Poem by Hope Elizabeth

I ORIGINALLY WROTE THIS POEM IN 5TH GRADE AS A JOURNAL ENTRY. IT IS REVISED AND ALSO WHEN I WROTE THIS, I REALLY DID FEEL THIS WAY. THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO ARE SUICIDAL\DEPRESSED. DEPRESSION IS not SOMETHING ANYONE SHOULD TAKE LIGHTLY. FEEL BETTER SOON.

Anger at the world…anger at the world
Nobody but me understands me
Even my closest friends have never heard a word of my self hatred
So afraid of life and what people will think of me
When you come across me you’d never begin to think
I have low self-esteem and dream about endless possibilities...that will never come true
I know I can’t try to escape cause I know I’ll fail
My very own family would catch me and just hurt me even more
I've suffered verbal abuse, mental abuse, and emotional abuse from them
They were the ones that caused me to become angry at the world
They never loved me, just beat me with words till I fell on the ground
Over the years I’ve grown a lot in mind
Even thought about suicide and how nobody would care if I died
Heaven or Hell would be better than where I am right now
I’m positioned in a tight jam in which I can’t get out
Wouldn’t even try cause just the THOUGHT makes me breakdown and cry
Angry at the world since I was a little girl
Wish I was different, wish I could belong
And be me, totally and completely ME, for once in my life and never ever have to question the harsh choice between life or death
There’s so many things that I want to tell you
Writing them down is the ONLY way I can tell you
Yes I’m angry
I’m angry at the world
