I'm a mistake,

I need a clean slate,

A new paper. 

So many scribbles,

So many eraser marks,

So much pain,

In the words I write.

Ball me up,

Throw me away,

That's what you'll do,

Anyways. 

Because I'm nothing,

And I'll always be,

Isn't that what you said,

To me?

This is the empty feeling of being a mistake when you ask, why am I even here?

Life doesn't make sense any more for most of us, but the best we can do even then is take care of each other.
