Yes. You are nothing. You are boring, distant, you are so much of a waste. You disgust me. You make me sick. You are weak, too damn weak to admit how irrelevant you are. You lost your battle a long time ago, you ruined yourself with your own hands, you mocked every opportunity the world has presented to you. You don’t deserve a second chance. You had your chance but you turned it against yourself.
You are the weakest link. Why fight now? Let the darkness consume you, let yourself go. Don’t fight it.
Why do you keep trying? Why do you exist? Why do you search for a world that doesn’t closely resemble hell?
You can’t be saved. You have no place here. You are doomed to fail.You have failed. Walk through oblivion. Alone.
I love it when coincidences pop up like this. I was just going to write a similar themed poem from the point of view of Hades… But I thought I’d let it stew for a a few days before putting pen to paper.

Some days it’s an effort to just get out of bed. I know the feeling, though not the circumstance. I usually lose myself in some book or TV show when I feel this way, and to try and stop myself from thinking about stuff. Sometimes the mind just needs to turn off. This works for me… I don’t know if it’ll work for you, since everyone’s different, but it’s worth a try.

Hope you are ok, my sweet friend. You are the opposite of everything written in this post. As long as we have breath in our body, the universe has some use for us – we may not be able to see it….but i do believe that is true.
So we don’t have to fight the darkness – just move to the light. In easy steps, with a single smile, a single note of music, a single moment in sunshine. My best wishes and prayers for a shower of smiles upon all who worry they amount to naught. If we are alive, we are a shining star in creation…bit by bit we will figure out where we are to shine….no worries, only smiles 🙂

Spend time with those who believe in you. Don’t listen to the naysayers.

But since this is in a first-person, confessional voice, my main reaction is, I’m sorry you’re on the bad side of you. Not without reason, even if you might not be right. I mean, there are reasons for feeling this way. The advice for writers is to keep writing. Is it fair advice to say for those of us who live to keep living?

One more thing that might be mildly reassuring for you: a few ‘dark nights of the soul’ are to be expected once in a while for those people in touch with their inner being. Some degree of suffering or a sense of ‘unsatisfactoriness’ is always necessary for spiritual progress. When you find a legitimate path and start progressing, the ups and downs should start to even out and become less frequent, and you won’t be so disturbed by them. Enough from me. Good luck!

I like how pain connects people more than comfort. Once a great writer quoted that it was foolish to read a creation to know about the contemporaries and about the writer. I am not a believer of that idea. I think that the words dripping from a writer’s pen are his blood…and his state of mind, agony in your case, and the tumult of his life. Clearly you are in pain and troubled. Haunting past, isn’t? Mind sharing?

What you wrote perfectly represents what Satan would say to us to push us toward self-destruction. What God tells us through Jesus, is completely the opposite. Your writing inspired me to share “God’s take” on this.
Yes. You are nothing.
I have called you by name: you are mine. (Isaiah 43: 1)
You are boring, distant, you are so much of a waste.
You formed my inmost being; you knit in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am wonderfully made. (Psalm 139: 14)
You disgust me. You make me sick.
You are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you. (Isaiah 43:4)
You are weak, too damn weak to admit how irrelevant you are.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I [Paul, the Apostle] will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell within me. (II Corinthians 12:9)
You lost your battle a long time ago, you ruined yourself with your own hands, you mocked every opportunity the world has presented to you.
Do not love this world or the things of this world…The world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever. (I John 2:15, 17)
You don’t deserve a second chance. You had your chance, but you turned it against yourself.
So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She replied, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, [and] from now on do not sin any more.” (John 8: 9b-11)
You are the weakest link. Why fight now? Let the darkness consume you, let yourself go. Don’t fight it.
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. (John 8:12)
Why do you keep trying? Why do you exist? Why do you search for a world that doesn’t closely resemble hell?
All who are called by my name I created for my glory. (Is. 43:7)
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now, and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. (Romans 8:18-23)
He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, [for] the old order has passed away.
(Revelation 21:4)
You can’t be saved. You have no place here. You are doomed to fail. You have failed. Walk through oblivion. Alone.
Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me.
(Psalm 139:5)
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is Christ [Jesus] who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:31-35, 38-39)
Peace be with you. Kevin
