What Am I?

Trying to get out of here with spry

Get out of here, a boy isn’t suppose to cry

Not talking with people, can’t get attached

To my own family, I’m detached

Left a gaping hole and a permanent scar

Still hearing them say my dreams won’t get far

With a deep amount of confusion driving me crazy

Opinion hardly counts thoughts are all hazy

Everyone looks happy, to my pain can anyone relate?

Full of regret now, no more full of hate

Sleep when and where ever though out the day

Stuck in a rut, it’s like this everyday

Another headache where my head starts to pound

Wanna be alone; I don’t wanna to hear a sound

State of paranoia, is my mask even on my face?

All this and 17… guess I am a disgrace

Good poems with a bit of

Good poems with a bit of emotion, though honestly I don't think the rhyming really fits with this, it sounds forced and not natural. Everyone looks happy, to my pain can anyone relate? Full of regret now, no more full of hate Sleep when and where ever though out the day If you write simply what comes out then kind of structure it, it'll sound more natural. At least that's what I do. Otherwise good, your writing gets better the more you do it so keep writing!!! Peace~~~~

I agree with the rhyme issue

but it is a poem that has a driving quality. Maybe it would be more effective to push it forward with consistent meter rather than rhyme? Or perhaps rhyme every other line, try some slant rhyme.

Hay great poem

this is a great poem, though, I agree with morgana, the rhming sounds forced. Everyone looks happy, to my pain can anyone relate? I can say that I can relate and it suck, I still wish it will get better, and hope that one day it will... ~rain~

glad to know some people can relate. sucks to start to think that you may be alone out there, sometimes we all need that reminder that there's others that have experienced it and understand whats going on. i hope your pain goes away like mine, though for me looks like it may be a while =( and ty for reading my poem (seems ocward cuz i kinda threw this part out here at the end but o well, i love the support from people)
