Have You Poem by Roshana Phillips

Have you ever like had that feeling,
That nothing good comes out from,
The very things you do
As much as you meant it to?

Have you ever had that feeling of neglect,
When all you can do about the situation
Is fuss and fret?
Because no one acknowledges you,
Only tries to down-courage you
Making you feel less of yourself
and telling you that you'll never be at your best?

Have you ever felt like an outcast,
After trying all
That you can
To let the good in you last,
Even when there is negativity in your head,
And the many tears in your eyes to shed?

Have you ever felt,
As though being on earth is a waste of time,
Because the only treatment you've had is that of slime?

Feeling as though you'll never make it,
and that all the days of your life your tears
You've had to fake it.
Often having to hear that you're nothing
Only knowing deep down
besides what they say you're something.
