Days Like This

No words can begin to describe How I feel on days like this Like unwanted mixed with salt Like pepper on a burn Hated. Why am I around? A 'nuisance' to those Who are mean to care Like hot curry drowning in tears An ice bath on a cold day Locked away writing fears Bound to come out sometime Like smelly feet in a clean world Or a mutt surrounded In a pedigree show Uncared for when all I want is love Pushed away in my 'home' Happiness comes some days But most days it gets ruined Days like these are the worst Like an acrobat on trapeze One mistake and it's over A balancing act of emotions Like a massive monster Misunderstood and fought off Like a sword through the chest Like loneliness when all you want Is family for some time A place to feel welcome Whatever you do Like an ant in an anthill But instead, it's different Like an ant tries to wander But humans wreck havoc Like an ingredient is missing The taste is not the same Like mixing sugar for salt And crash, you're down again
