A Place Where No One Likes To Be

Published by Family Friend Poems March 2011 with permission of the Author.

There's a place where no one likes to be
So they save that little place for me
They shove me in and lock the door
They call me a dick, an ass, a man whore
They say shut up, they say f-you
But none of them know what I'm going through
I've lost good friends. I've been a lost friend too
I've said I'll never love, and I've said I love you
Deep down I know I deserve all the bad
I just miss the life that I once had
I miss my family, I miss my friends
I'm part of a nightmare that never ends
People leave, and people die
But the nightmare continues when I open my eyes
Everything feels like it's falling apart
I've broken my family, my faith, and my heart
Every time I think life can't get worse
I watch another friend ride off in a hearse
I don't remember how to smile, or even have fun
It's true when they say only the good die young

OMG! I can so relate to this emotional, heartfelt poem! After my grandma died, I shut everyone out because I was so sad. Grandma and I used to be so close, and when she died I felt like I lost a chunk of my heart and my safe haven. The best do die young, but they can also die old. I've always counted on one person that would never leave me, God. God will always be there for you even if no one else is. God is my new safe haven.

I'm 15, and I'm going through the exact same thing you're going through. I've lost my friends and destroyed my reputation by doing stupid things back in my past, and people still use it against me. Every day I cry to myself at night, wishing these things never would've happened. I got raped by the only person I gave my heart out to, and people think I'm lying and that I'm trying to ruin his life now that I've reported him to the police and put him in prison. Everywhere I go, people mock me, laugh at me, and even spit on me due to the actions of my past. I'm here to support you, honestly. No one should be treated like rubbish by anyone.

I know what you're going through. I don't have much to say because I can't fake "this" happiness anymore. But I know deep down it hurts. Please get better soon.
~Love, Joan~

I know exactly where you are at in life. I have the same thing happening to me. The last 3 people I lost, committed suicide, and that is the worst feeling thinking it was because of me. I caused it because I broke up with her after 3 years, and she goes home and puts a bullet in her head. Now I'm only losing more, all my friends think I made this girl kill herself. I said something wrong to her, and all of them are leaving me. I'm the guy you see in the hallway at school alone looking lost and wishing he could find someone who could understand him. But I can't.

Hi, my name is Aleia. This poem has touched me deeply. I feel so bad for you, I wish I was there to comfort you, I know what you're going through. You may not think I do, but I do. I have experienced what you have. I just want you to know I'm here for you. I may not know you but I'm here for you. :)
