They All Look Away Instead of Looking My Way

not a bit of empathy being shown to me
stop staring I don’t want your pity
all I want is to be given some courtesy
so painfully obvious is the apathy
left behind and rejected by society
can’t, even, get concern from my family
seems everyone preferred me when criminally
behaving with no ties to bitter reality
probably because I didn’t need or ask for any
help to simply exist in circumstances miserably
was I a serial killer-rapist in my last life, seriously?
nothing makes sense when I think about it logically
my life’s been on a decline since I found sobriety
causing me to question all I ever knew spiritually
hopelessness taking over everything inside me
heart’s been broken so much that it’s empty
this isn’t the way I was born nor how I want to be
had an abundance of love, compassion, and generosity
that was then and this is now; it’s all “used to be”
I’d rather be dead than continue on living this way
can’t believe in a merciless God so I don’t pray
with any luck today will be my very last day
