why did i have to be born here ?

usually i write short stories... an attempt to write a poem this time...

why nothing's ever good enough ?
why do you always want me to change?
am i so wrong ?
i don't know what to do,
feels like i am trapped.
no matter how hard i try,
my hopes and my thoughts fail to stay.

i don't belong here,
why did i have to be born here?

you haunt me, for bad and good,
i cannot escape, though i should.
i find myself in the depths of despair,
too many hurdles, too much to repair.

i don't belong here,
why did i have to be born here?

racing against the haunted memories of
my past,
i wish i could run away from them,
run really fast.

with each passing day,
i fail to remember the words, i
desperately wish to say.

the end is near.......

i don't belong here,
why did i have to be born here?
