Array ( [sid] => 81321 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Why Me? [time] => 2005-01-24 20:18:53 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I pack my bags
And throw them in the car
I need to get out of here
I need to go far.

My life is going down the drain
Down and down it goes
It’s full of rocky bumps
Never, like the river, it flows.

My dreams are carried away
Never will they come true
My fairy godmother has gone away
Gone away to others like you.

My prince charming will never come
And carry me away
Up hear in this lonely tower
Forever I will stay.

I will never have my own kingdom
My very own to call mine
To rule with my handsome king
And be with him till the end of time.

No one will ever love me
I’m lonely and in despair
They just go on with their own lives
They never really care.

I’m not beautiful like the rest
Being thin with gorgeous eyes
For me all men do
Is tell me more and more lies.

They say I am pretty
They say I’m not fat
To make me feel better
Is why they say that.

I can tell you I’m not rich
I always have to wait
Until we have enough money
Being poor is my fate.

All the people around me
Never really understand
How it feels to be lonely and unloved
And not have a helping hand.

As I grow older
I realize this made me strong
I’m very glad it did
All my life long.

Boys grow to men
They grown up and become mature
So they love my personality
Of this I am very sure.

Maybe life won’t be so bad
And life will be good for me
Maybe I will get married
And have a baby.

My handsome husband will love me
And I will have my kingdom
He has rescued me from my tower
I never thought he’d come.

But now my life is great
I don’t need my godmother now
She was never there anyway
I have now idea how
My life has become this way.

Why Me?

I can relate to the first half of your poem... i feel like that too sometimes... I guess everyone learns that life isn't fair when it comes down to love.

good poem. could have been written better with some verses left out, to give this power.
