You don't even try
And everyone is falling at your feet
Wishing to do your bidding
I can pour my heart and soul into something
And the more I care
The more ugly you think it is
The more ugly you think I am
For I am just me
Always the duckling never the swan
You are always viewed as perfect
Me, I'm lucky if I'm even seen
And the more I try
The more I get laughed at
If I try to be the swan
I just get laughed at
Why do your dreams always come true
When my fall apart and shatter
Why am I nothing, and
Why are you everything
And I am sick of you complaining
Because it is all handed to you
It is always handed to you
Everyone always loves you
You tell me I have no right to complain
Well fuck you
Because you don't even have to tie your own shoes
For all love you
I want to be the best for once
What is even wrong with me?
Why I am always hated?
I never did anything wrong
But it still
Just stupid old Kate
Always
Just stupid old Kate
You think my words are lies
You think I exaggerate
One day you will regret ignoring me
One day you will regret leaving me
One day you will regret hurting me
One day you will regret not caring
One day you will regret only pretending
One day all of you will regret
That is a promise
For I might never be the swan
I know I will never be the swan
But you will never know
If I'm not ever here
And you can say what you wish to me
But to me it will always sound like
Let them eat cake

You are apoem

♥Kate -
spectacular
truely.... a masterpiece. i got so into reading it, i actually leaned foward and started reading it aloud. faster and faster. only to end up at the tag line, so perfectly stated, "let them eat cake." such pure and unadulterated loathing, i loved every word. im not a big fan on free verse, ya know, i love rhyme scheme and structure, but this was fantastic! if only i could write like this, if only i was capable of putting such feeling into my own works..... maybe then, just maybe, i might be able to call myself a poet. you truely are a spectacular poet, and i can only dream of one day reaching your calibur. a stunning work art.....

Wow! I think this is feelings everyone feels at times. I know during school I was like that. All I can say about this write is wow and you have some outstanding talent. Keep it up!

I have two sisters, both of which were always more popular than me. I grew up feeling like I could never be as good as them, and would never be as popular or loved as them. This really hit home for me. Although the languae you used is simple, it's real. It sounds like we're just reading your thoughts as they happen. Good stuff. --->pixxie<---

This was very touching and you did a wonderful job sweetie. Expressing yourself helps the healing process. And you definitly did!!!

Thank you so much.
Its wonderfully hearing people say that.

ohh my.. I.. wow. So perfect. The way it was written.. the message.. it was.. just wow. The way it was repeated you could feel the despair.. the plead. It was.. oh wow. It just touched my heart. Simply beautiful darling. And don't worry if your not the swan. Being the swan is highly overrated. They're all so boring.. and each the same as the next. Don't give up.. and keep writing because your work is simply gorgeous.

Thank you so much!!
I am excited to find someone like myself. And its not just boys. Isn't it horrible?
I hope you don't mind that I added you to my favorites list!!
Thanks you make feel so loved, do you really think that I am that good. A lot of friends don't think I'm that good at all.
But then again that is the same group of people I am writing to.
Feel free to send me a message, and I'll give you my SNs(I have like all the chat programs so most likely I will have the one you have).
And my real name is Kathleen, and my nickname is kate, so yah weird.
lol.
♥Kate -
incredible.
Oh my god... i feel like you have ripped into my soul and poured out my thoguhts. Firstly, my name is Kathryn, so my nickname is Kate( eerie) and second of all, i get exactly where you are soming from with this.
How SHE gets to sit in the lap of luxury, with a silver spoon in her mouth and adoring fans at her feet, when I can hardly get a boy to notice me.
I appreciate that you can express it so ... I don't know how to say it- freely? You are an amazing Poet, and don't you EVER, EVER stop writing how you feel! Please write me back, you seem like somebody i could talk to!
write on~
