About the Poem

This is a poem about being taken advantage of. I am always there for people, but they never seem to have time for me.

Down Again

I've been pushed down so many times
I feel this time will be the last
as I lay here fading
my thoughts are invaded by memories of my past
I feel the pressures of shame and rejection building
as I lay here on the floor
I have no strength to get up
I'm not worth it any more

Funny, how poems potray other people and how they feel. This is exactly how i feel all day everyday, dont know why it wont go away, dont know when it will go away. We think that only if our questions are answered everything will drift away. Most try, but ive tried and it doesnt help me just to forget everything cause then it just comes back ten times worse. This poem touched me, its in the eyes of a young girl who is suffering.

life is like a game,there are times of GLORY and triumph,but most are sadness and failure,so play your game right and tough cuz when you fall theres no turning back. Life is not matter of destiny,but its a matter of choice. jhake41
