Misfit.
outcast.
mistake.
what do all of these words have in common? their all words used to describe me.
And just when i think things cant get any worse something happens and i end up lying face down in a ditch.
Sometimes i feel like I'm holding on to life with all of the strength i have...

But for what?

I always end up in the same place.
Thrown away by what seems like all of society.
People have said that if your told something over and over again, you will start to believe it,
and that only the strongest of people can overcome that obstacle.

I really like this. It's very powerful. I especially like the last three lines. It leaves the reader feeling strong and it gives hope. Please remember that no one is ever a mistake, no matter what anyone else says. Who are they to determine that, anyway? You're a strong person and I can tell by your words. Someone who doesn't have a strong will wouldn't have been able to convey such strong opinions and emotions. Keep your head up. Your writing can get you far :)
