underprivileged soul

he wrote
short stories
to forget his pain
but nobody
understood them
nobody
appreciated them
and he hated
himself
for that
his mother?
she wanted to
believe in him
but she didn't
and his lover?
oh, she left him
chasing her own future
with another man
and as everyone
was laughing and
playing cards
in the living room
he said goodbye
to his life
by the sound
of a gun
