Sick of having to hear this,
“You’ll be fine darling, you’ll survive.”
But I know that deep in my mind,
I am just another prisoner to my own life.
I was taught to push the bad out,
I was taught to keep the good in…
And whatever I want, to go for it…
But why do I want to stop living?
Mom always says,
“Everything’s all right, Your just making it up
in the back of your mind.”
I know she doesn’t care,
Because if she did, than I wouldn’t be here.
It seems like if I cut,
It is actually for a reason…
BUT WHY DON’T THEY GET IT?
They say that I need help,
That I’m not supposed to be this way,
How do they know?
They aren’t even close to being me.
All I ever do these days is cry myself to sleep…
Hoping one day, I won’t awake…
But as if that is going to happen,
So I add more scars to what I have left
Of my bleeding left arm.

Welcome to allpoetry
This is a good piece of writing! don't ever put yourself down, you are very aware of how those around you react to your own personality... we are all individuals, have our own likes, dislikes, thoughts, emotions etc, it's what makes us who we are. There may be many things in our life that others do not fully understand, whether its something we do they do not agree with, or whether its just the reason why we do it.
What matters more than anything is how we see ourselves, there may be things happening in your life others have no idea of, they may not even care... what does matter is that you are aware of how you see your life moving forward, you are the one who is at liberty to make your own decisions. Right or wrong, you have learnt as you have grown, the way your life turns out is due to what you choose to do with what you have learnt as you have grown into a mature, appreciative, and informed individual.
Well done! I do encourage you to continue with your writing

well, i think that this was actually a pretty good write, but i think you put a little bit of extra added words in there. but otherwise i liked it. i hope you keep writing because if you can make this up, then imagine what you can write with your own feelings intact. and the picture, that's a picture of my friend alexheartbreaker on myspace, you know him too i'm guessing? anywayz.... way to go
keep it up.

Heart wrenching ...
your poem is very powerful and this line speaks volumes ...
"I am just another prisoner to my own life."
Makes me think of these words for a poem.
We are prisoners of our own life,
We hold the lock,
We hold the key,
it's just.......
When to use the key,
When to unlock the hurt,
to show us so much more,
for what life has in store.
Author notes ... you say "I know I may not be good."
Good, if you use the words "may not", your still questioning : ) ... A good person who hurts.
