Take Me Away Poem by Jessica VanderZee

I wake up again
I realize this and start to cry
Why do I keep waking up
When I really want to die

My life, it has no meaning
It’s hopeless to the end
My heart is hardly beating
And now impossible to mend

My God has given up on me
So why should I even care
Just take me from this world
It seems completely fair

You didn’t make me good enough
Not pretty enough or smart
You didn’t make me strong enough
You’ve failed me from the start

Please just take my life
I don’t want it anymore
I hate myself so much
Completely and to the core

I look into my future
And see nothing but despair
There’s no love, and there’s no happiness
No hope floating in the air

So take me from this awful place
I don’t want to wake again
Why won’t you take my life
When you see how bad it’s been

Maybe there is no God
And that’s why I’m still here
Maybe I should remove myself
Who cares if I disappear?
