Used

Sitting on the edge of the sky
Deep seated anger holds me back
I'm pretty sure I was left here intentionally
Validate my frustrations
None of you really bothered
Pieces of yesterday make me feel used

Don't feign concern when you are just
trying to alleviate your own feelings
A selfish resentment, I'm sure
I won't darken your world any longer
I'm ready to leave all this behind
Somehow, I wonder if I am taking this too far

The needs of the many seem to outweigh
the feelings of the few

So sad but its true. The good get bad things happen to them and the bad get all the good stuff. This is how life balances it out. People can't be good all the time and the same goes for the bad. Really harsh but thats life. But the good can look out for the other good. This write touches a very strong topic and I can relate to it.

Nice poem. I like this line: "Pieces of yesterday make me feel used"

I guess people can only love the best they can, but yeah, sometimes it is woefully inadequate. This write hit home with me.
