Dear Santa

Christmas is a time
Of holiday cheer
But tell me, dear Santa
Why must I be here?
Hell hath great fires
Heaven hath much peace
But down where I am
Only joyous time ceased
Take me, break me
Trim me up on the tree
Just as long as it's not here
As long as I'm not me
Hate this place
Hate this holiday, too
Tears threaten to form
Depression shines through
Forget all the happy
People who don't hate their life
Right now, my world sucks
But no, there's no knife
I love my friends,
They make me so happy
I love my boyfriend, too
With him I'm far too sappy
But my family, from hell
I wish them away
So Santa, please Santa
Let me skip Christmas day
My step-dad was being a right jerk over Christmas, so I wrote this as an escape. I like the holiday, as long as I'm nowhere near him. He ruins everything.

I've been writing poetry for about eight or nine years now, and I've been writing in general since learning how to (I used to write "books" in first grade and such). Also, thank you very much.

I would think about it, except I've only written 44 poems. How many does a book of poetry usually have? My friend published a book of her poetry, and she had almost twice as many. Do you really think it would sell?
