I never asked

Can anybody help me,
can anybody see?
I hate it here,
I hate it so.
No matter what I do,
I can't be happy here.
Clouds roll in,
and rain on my parade.
Happy eyes fill with gloom.

My heart fills,
and feels so heavy.
I don't think,
I can go on.
I ache for something,
something out of reach.
Man, I wish I knew,
why I hate life so.

I just wanna...
break down and cry,
melt away in the dark sky.
Since I'm here,
I might as well try.
BUT, WHY?!...
why was I invited
why was i invited
why was I invited

Please punch my ticket,
please punch my card.
Just a one way ticket,
take me outta this town.

after reading your bio I can understand the pain you relate in this poem. not only a pain of wanting out of this life or situation but a kind of pain that makes you wonder where in life you belong. very deep and well written.

thanks for taking the time to read about me and actually understand where i'm coming from before commenting on it. i've had people rate my poems and then leave no comment. makes me believe that they just saw words on a screen and gave it a number. thank you.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
