I sit in the corner,
My head down to the world.
Thoughts of suicide,
Roll through my brain.
But in this cruel place,
How can one stay sane.
I must fight back,
For I am not weak.
The pain I go through,
Is at it's very peak.
Sometimes I think,
That my pain will never end.
Most people are frightened of me,
But they must be easily scared.
For I don't think I'm scary,
But that just might be.
Because I'm just me,
I hate it when people call me gothic or emo.
Just because I wear black,
Does not mean that I am either.
Some people just need,
To get to know me.
Then they will realize,
That looks can decieve me.

No option in authors comments box or indication therefore of what the option is... Sorry, but this could fit into a couple of options... I'm afraid I can't place you for the fairness to the other poets.

You even got friend requests from them, and THEY WROTE LIKE THIS, CAUSE THEY 'LIKE TOTALLY GET YOU DUDE'. Ok, sorry wasn't poking fun at them. I just don't think they'd like totally get you dude! as much if they didn't think ur pic was cute. And yeah your cute and you write poetry. It was a great poem. I was just having fun making fun of them. Good luck in the contest... 'DUDE'.

This poem is good. i have a lot of trouble at school cause i wear black. I got beat up cause i started to wear skater clothes and the color black. Every one was scared of me cause i write death poems and suicide poems, i never used to show my poems to anyone, but they found my book.I lost all of my friends.
-
For entering the world of poetry, you are doing well.
I know what its like to have people afraid of you.
All the time I think, my pain will never end and it probably won't but that is a fate I have come to accept. I love life though.. strangely enough. I appreciate every breath I have and every time I can see something beautiful it melts my heart.
I hope you accept my request to be friends.

This is an awesome poem. I can ttly relate to it. I liked the last part "some people just need, to get to know me..." Yea I deal with that a lot. Anyways I think I'm goin to add you as a favourite cause i really like your poetry if thats ok with you.

Yea thats fine

I like this a lot...
My favorite part;...
"I hate it when people call me gothic or emo.
Just because I wear black,
Does not mean that I am either."
I have the same problem...>_>
Really good write...Continue, cause you're good...
-
wow amazing
this is a very powerful right. it is very emotional and straight to the point... love it and keep up the great work..love ya hun.. -
For your first poem I'm impressed! I can really relate to it! Everyone thought I was gotic when I wore black and because it's my favorite color...now even though I dress like your typical highschool girl they all think I'm emo...but there one person out there that sees me for me no matter what I wear or do! This poem is amazing and beautiful...great work and keep it up! I see the possibility of greatness if you do!
-
And a wonderful 1st it is. I consider myself gothic, but I don't dress it 'cause my mom won't let me. People consider me a poser because of that. Stupid, huh? It's not outside, it's inside no matter how cliche it may sound.
Anyway, I'm rambling. lol! Good job and I hope to read more from ya!
