I am a Mistake.

by Colby   Jun 6, 2006


We were all brought into this world
Whether by a choice from our parents
Or an accident from two teens
Either way it was all a chance
A chance to experience gloom

Life is so fcked up
No matter how you look at it
With anger, sadness and war
It seems there is no hope

No matter where you go
You're destined to fall in love
Sometimes you'll be sad because
The one you love doesn't share the feelings
Or maybe you will both fall in love
Maybe someday get married
Have a few kids

But whats the point?
Eventually you will still be hurt
Maybe your love will leave you
Or be separated by death
Do you think I can handle losing you?
How can I expect you too?

So did the parents think of this?
Maybe they love each other, but
If they truly loved their kids
They wouldn't be born
For they should know whats on the road in front of them

Pain, sorrow, loneliness, anger hate
Happiness, love, money, glory
Losses, tears, questions, nightmares
Religion, wins, hopes, and dreams
Death

In the end
We'll all be separated from the ones we love
The ones that mean everything to us

So why let it begin?
Keep your sorrow to yourself
Keep your regrets
Keep your hopes
Forget everything that matters

    Well, in all honesty the first thought that came into mind when I saw the title 'I was a mistake' I thought it would be another feel-sorry-for-me type poem that I've seen from some other poets on this site. Not that those are bad poems, as writing is here to express, I find them to hold lots of emotion: and it's the emotion that I strive for. However, you did not write quite like that. Instead, you wrote something that appeals to everyone, and probably has entered the thoughts of many of us (including myself). It is quite a sad poem, because it tells me that life isn't as it should be, and there's a reason for pessimest (spelling?) behaviour. You expressed your point of view to a world that will most likely understand where you're coming from, and you did it clearly and concisely - all the while there was still strong bouts of emotion, like a sense of hurt from being let down by the world, or losing all hope... Excellent write.
