Worthless

She was worthless, useless
a nothing, a nobody, a failure
a reject in this world.
These were all she heard, 
all she could hear.

Nice homes with nice parents
was something she knew not.
Never had friends over, 
or sleepovers, or parties.

Never a praise ever heard.
No good job or I'm so proud.
Only do better, it wasn't good enough.
And it hurt the girl, hurt her deep.
The words like a sharp edged knife.

Every night her anger grew.
She lay in the confines of her room,
listening to the constant fighting,
waiting for the silence to come,
plotting and planning the perfect way to end it all,
waiting for the perfect moment to finally arrive.
