Sometimes I Feel...

Sometimes I feel,

Alone, Like nobody is here.

Sometimes I feel,

Ugly, ashamed of myself.

Sometimes I feel,

Like this world hates me.

Like I don't belong here,

Like I have no reasons.

Sometimes I feel,

Pain, every which way I turn.

Sometimes I feel,

Dirty, all though I am clean.

Sometimes I feel,

Like my life is a dramatic play,

Like everybody is against me,

Like people don't know my name.

Sometimes I feel...

Like I want to sleep forever,

To get rid of this pain, this hate and the argues.

It crosses my mind, every so often.

But I know I must stay,

No matter how badly I want to go,

Because I do have friends, I do have a family,

I do have my precious love, I do have a life.

This life may not be perfect,

But when it gets tough,

I think of the things I DO have,

And all the things I love very much.

I live for those things,

those animals, and people,

And as long as I DO have,

I have my reason,

My reason to live,

To love and to strive,

To make my life all it can be,

And never just give up and die.

So I guess sometimes I feel happy,

Special, loved, and needed,

So for that, I will stay,

And never leave,

Until I'm needed,

Up in the heavens,

To do my deeds,

To go home once more,

And be happy for eternity.
