It's pretty bad when you start to think that you are a mistake.

That God put you on this Earth as a joke to see if you could survive.

That He wants to watch your pain and misery, or see how long it takes for you to go insane.

That He put you here as a bet between Him and Satin to see who will get you...

God, because you overlooked the ridicule and lived a full life

or

Satin, because you screwed up and cursed the very reason you were here.

I was having one of those moments in life when things just weren't going my way when I was writing this. I look down on the reason I wrote this now. I like this poem... but it hurts to read it again.
