Not Like Them

What is going on?
I can't tell anymore.
Is it real, or fake?
Is it true, or false?
Who's really certain
About the events taking place.
No one can forsee the future.
No one can truly understand
The feelings I have
Deep within.
No one can truly understand
How much confusion
Drives me in circles
Day in and day out.
Well, what else can I say?
The others,
They let me down
Over and over again,
Making my last days here
Memorably sickening.

On the other hand,
I do trust you though,
And I do want to thank you.
Not only for being there for me,
But for attempting to help
In ways uncountable.
For trying to help me
Better myself.
For helping me see
That I'm not like them.
That I don't have to be a part
Of the life they all lead.
I don't have to participate
In the disfunction.
I can be me,
Regardless.
Because of you.

Please tell me what you think

    Wow!

    When I was reading this, I read lines that struck some memories and past emotions in me. It surprised me, but the words were wonderfully written. I like the flow of the poem and there weren't any parts that sounded odd. I can feel what I think you were trying to convey and it was a powerful piece. GREAT job!! I hope to read more by you sometime!
