At Least I'm Not Her (poem) - July 24th 2013, 04:47 AM

Just a poem I wrote while thinking. It's kinda hard to explain, but I think you can get the gist of it. If you still want a full explanation, I'll be happy to provide one!
Enjoy!
*********************************

Someone wise once said:
"We're all here for a reason.
Everyone has their time,
Everyone has their season."

Never ever have such words
Inspired me before.
And I've come to the realization,
That I must mean much more.

I am here for a reason,
There's something I'm meant to do.
I used to think I was worthless and dumb,
And that the wise man's words were never true.

But now I've opened up my eyes,
And I can clearly see
That the reason I was put on this Earth
Was so people could laugh at me.

They all laugh at my misfortunes,
My unluckiness and failure.
They compare themselves to me,
And say "at least I'm not her.

"At least I'm not as ugly,
Untalented or strange.
At least I'm not that wretched soul
Who's quite a bit deranged.

"At least I'll succeed in my dreams,
While she only fails.
I'll be riding smoothly,
While her old train derails.

"At least I'm not like that girl.
The creepy weirdo one.
The girl who has no social life,
Who has never seen the sun.

"At least I'm not her,
At least she's not me.
At least I'm the prettier one,
While she's so butt-ugly."

That's my purpose in life.
To set a prime example.
To be the absolute worst,
And make other people joyful.

But in a twisted way,
I actually don't mind.
If I can boost some self-esteem,
Then hey, I'll be fine.

I've accepted my purpose in life,
And I've put my dreams on the shelf.
I wasn't meant to be an actress,
I was meant to be myself.

I really like how you wrote this! Stay strong!


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

^^ thanks!
I'll try to stay strong too. I often find myself thinking this a lot. That my purpose is just so I can be the "worst" and people will feel batter about themselves.

I liked this poem. I thought it was very powerful but I don't think your purpose is to be the worst. Sometimes it takes us a while to figure out what our purpose is but once we do it is a really amazing feeling. I believe you will find your purpose as well and when you do you will feel that amazing feeling as well. Hang in there and if you ever want to chat I am here.
