The Hurtin'! ! Poem by Becky Ginn

The Hurtin'! !



I'm sat here now, all alone
People just don't understand me
I wanna get out and leave this land behind
I just hope one day they'll see

I didn't want this to happen
And it's not my fault that it did
'Don't worry, things will get better,
Remember, you're only a kid'

That's what they say when they try to help
You see... it just makes things worse
Things are always gonna upset and depress me
I think it's just me and my curse

I can't see my life getting better
I think I've hit rock bottom
They say, 'You'll never be that low,
You've got me, or have you forgotten? '

You see, I went and got some help
Although I did think it a waste of time
They tried their best to help me
They tried to make me speak my mind

I'm still getting that help and support
I think it may be workin'
I'm not sure, but I have my suspisions
Because it's less, you know, the hurtin'

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
... Sheila 25 April 2007

This is a very sad and meaningful poem, so full of your pain and apprehension about every getting better. I think you will get better if you believe you can. I've suffered with depression for years and even written poems about it. I know it's tough. Hang in there and God bless. Good writing. Sheila
