Am I The Replacement
A poem
Replacement's hard to feel like this.
Inside I feel numb by your actions.
You can say I love you?
But your actions say I hate you.
Wonder what it would be like if I had never been born.
I'm sure we all feel this way feeling we're nothing.
Inside and out, resentment is there.
Inside and out, love replaces resentment.
Love and hate are one and the same.
How do we not care about others' thoughts?
By remembering who we are inside.
Remember our love and respect for ourselves.
How do we feel not replaced?
By not caring about what others say.

We Are Not Lazy Because We Are On Benefits
My life has not been easy. I struggled at school with bullying and school work with very little support available to me, and that continued into adulthood, where it interfered with my mental health, and my ability to find work.
