Poem: WHO, WHAT, WHY AM I?

by Dontavien M.
 
Why was I born?
What is the reason for my life?
I know that God had no part in making me, but who did?
I’m a demon.
All I do is cause pain and suffering no matter where I go.
Why would anyone love me if I don’t love myself?
Why am I alive if I deserve to die?
I know only one way to stop the fights that I cause.
Since I was born into darkness and my spirit is darkness, I shall die and plunge my soul into internal darkness soon and that will stop the fights and bring the money.
Heaven I’ll never see.
Hell I’ll never feel.
Nowhere will accept me and no one should.
That is what I know of me, so if my own parents don’t love me—
can you tell me
Who, what, why I am?
