i'm less than human <br />in this world that we live <br />i'm stone cold sober <br />but have nothing to give <br /> <br />in a world full of money <br />i haven't had any <br />with relationships aplenty <br />I haven't had very many <br /> <br />I live all alone <br />almost never leave the house <br />I'm afraid of everything <br />except maybe for a mouse <br /> <br />My dreams hold me hostage <br />they tether me to the bed <br />so scared to be alive <br />I often wish that I was dead <br /> <br />the shrill of the telephone <br />makes me shiver in fear <br />everyday sounds <br />bring forth a myriad of tears <br /> <br />you might wonder how <br />someone can be so afraid <br />I can't go outside <br />since i was betrayed <br /> <br />a man tore my life to shreds <br />and broke my heart <br />he made me feel less than human <br />when tore my life apart <br /> <br />he used me and abused me <br />then threw me in the trash <br />walked out and left me <br />without any cash <br /> <br />he yelled and he screamed <br />and he called me a whore <br />than he slammed down the phone <br />as I crumpled to the floor <br /> <br />I want what I used to have <br />a life that was more <br />i was somebody, not nobody <br />but that was before<br /><br />Linda Racaniello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/less-than-human/
