Dear Life

I always wet my pillow at night with tears of sorrow,

thinking to myself why you got to be this cruel to me,

denying me a chance to get all that i yearn for,

I’m laughed at for being an underachiever,

I put in the effort in attempting to raise a checkered flag in this race,

but I cannot finish with ease,

because you are unkind to me,

and I hope not for a better tomorrow.

Oh dear Life!

you and I are enemies,

we cannot be best of friends,

and it is only fair to detach yourself from me,

for I have long given up on trusting you with granting me happiness.
