This is my life now This madness, this pain The life that must be avoided This is my life now This anger, this hate That is all I know This is my life now Full of darkness and hopelessness Will this pain never end? This is my life now No one will help me turn it around Yet they all weep when they find me dead This is my life now My death is on their hands Now they must pay the price For ignoring me and letting me die Here's a short poem for #nationalpoetrywritingmonth
