Try to be me With all I have to deal with
Take all the jokes for being a redneck,
Deal with all the shit because you love your country
Fight off people left and right for saluting the flag
And Sticking up for the soldiers twenty thousand miles away.
Be the one with the mom who left with your brother and sister,
The dad whose a drunk and beats you when he is pissed.
live with a seventy Six year old woman who doesnt understand you.
Just think about my life and think about what I take
Think of how much I give and never ask in return.
When I need someone theres nobody around.
So I continue with my life all alone.
I want something real that will last.
This seems like it will never be for me anyway.
Just think about it from my side of it all.

very honest poem
If it isn't honest, I couldn't tell. It speaks with meaning and feeling, not just elaborate words. It is powerful because it connects your feelings to anyone who reads it. Powerful, real, Honest.

thinking
okay Im thinking about it. ACtually though, just a bit is way more than enough. Your life is challenging. Oh, and you are up to the challenge.
well you either are or you are not.
This poem made me feel apprehensive due to the negative situation you present yourself as being within. Apprehension about how you might turn out.
Or have you already turned out?
Loneliness....now there's the ticket. You think it's something that goes away>/? Loneliness is the universal sorrow. The only thing the majority of us have in common and dislike collectively.
Imagine God. He's got to be the lonely ist....the only God---the one who created all He did...most likely to escape aloneness. But imagine having to make all your company. ARGGG!! NO thanks!!
But I babble.
I meant to say I like this what you have written even though the content itself --that is , the meaning, is so stark. IT was well written.
Kudos for the self psychiatry, William. This represents about three years of most people therapeutic history....and you've done it on your own.

Everyone has to go through one thing or another in life ... and there is always someone who doesn't understand us ... as a human ... we go through so much of the same bullshit it's not even funny ... just when you think you are the only one to have to put up with it ... someone else can relate to it ... you are not alone ... and you have more then one person to talk to if you ever need a friend ... just because I am not on a computer 24/7 that doesn't mean you can't write me an email and fill me in ... when I get on ... you know I will answer it in a heart beat ... everyone that you know over here loves you and we just want to see you happy ... but you have to be happy with yourself before you make anyone else happy love ... we love you ... take it easy and try not to get so down ...

This is one I would love to hang in DJ's bar
In fact, I'm gonna go get a bowl of cereal and read it over again.
How the hell are ya, man? I wondered was you goin' ta talk wi'me again after the other day.
So I've read it again,
and it's sinking in.
But you know,
you're not really alone,
if you decide to,
you could look up a friend.
This doesn't have to be
such a lonely end.
Rather,
choose a new beginning,
another inning,
yet another but yes another
chance to bat.
See where ya at?
Cat?

Awe will this is deep. I'm soprry you deal with this. Being in JROTC I too deal with stupid people who taunt me because of the class itself. Ignore them.
Just be happy with what you are doing, that's all that matters. As blue said before, your not alone, but you haven't come to me with anything either so therefore I cannot help...I love yah Will.
