Worst Feelings In The World

Each life may or may not

have experienced the worst feelings in the world.

All of us will experience it

but because of individual circumstance

the experience and the rank or degree of which

changes depending.

From a countdown, from bitter to repulsive,

here are worst feelings I’ve encountered in my life:



10.    Being sick



9.      Frustration



8.      Loneliness



7.      Firsthand experiences with prejudice (me being the object of prejudice) / maligned for no reason



6.      Heartbreak



5.      Failure



4.      Anxiety / Depression



3.      (?)



2.      Loss



1.      (?)



Yet despite how difficult it was

to accept it especially the top five,

despite how much adversity I’ve faced,

I’ve learned to move along.



The past is part of me;

I can’t argue against it.



I know it’s hard to erase one’s past;

nearly impossible to do so.



But it made me strong today to face

whatever surprises tomorrow will bring.



I guess that’s how I am.

A survivor of the past; one who is honed

by those experiences although terrible.

And a strengthened person to future, hellish days.



Perseverance, honey that makes Life sweeter at the end.

There are a few more that I haven't listed...  I think it's too private to disclose.

I like this one. This talks about everything that everyone tends to go through in their lives, and I can totally relate to this in some ways, such as being the target of prejudice, and that the reason for it could be unknown, but perhaps that's just how people might feel towards you or to me, and yet, we've got to move on, and it's hard because we can't erase what happened in the past and re-create it, but hey, that's life. =)

You forgot a couple of really bad feelings. ONe of the worst feelings is feeling not good enough. Then, there's the feeling of being surrounded by morons and wanting to smash some heads together, which you wouldn't literally do. There's the feeling of hopelessness when you have a crying child and you don't know what to do to get them to feel better and stop crying. Conner makes me feel stupid, frustrated, not good enough, and hopeless a lot. He's my first born and even though I've helped babysit and raise children my whole life it's a lot different when the child's your own. Maybe, you'll join me in my feelings someday. I hope so because as rotten as they make you feel about yourself and your abilities they make you feel incredibly good too like when they're cooing to you, smile at you, giggle, hold onto your finger, snuggle with you.

this piece reall covers what we go through and each one of us deals with prejudice. For me it was wearing glasses,and being fat. I even had a point in later years where a so-called friend and I got into an arguement and she ragged about my German background ...
