Love and pain

Poem

By Ayoade AnjolaoluwaPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Growing up

You made a song

Which you sing to me

Every damn day

Reminding me and telling me

I brought chaos and pain

To the happy faces in the picture

Telling me immediately I came

Everything changed really bad

Making me believe I am the problem

Even though you don’t mean to

But you do every damn day

You break me with your words

Increasing my insecurities

When you should love and mold me

You should love and protect me

I shouldn’t have to put up my walls

Or be on guide when I’m with you

You are supposed to be my best friend

Protect me from these thing

Yet it’s you who expose me to it

Everyday I feel like shit

Because I know it could have been better

If I never came in to the picture

Now I’m feel it is all pointless

I mean what’s the point

The one who conceived me

Believes I brought just problems

Not once have you ever

Been able to relate my coming

With something that brought

Joy or happiness to the picture

And now I believe

I was not meant to be in the picture

And maybe I should just walk away from it

Because I am not even wanted

So what’s the point

Why stay when I can leave

And just maybe then

Everyone will be happy.
