Listen and please hear
what I have to say
I may not speak it loud and clear
but listen all the same
I have walked alone throughout my life
and still I walk alone
I live in fear of all things near and call no place my home
I toss and turn throughout my sleep
In fear of futures wraith.
And when I think about the past I'm drowning in my path
Love will lose all meaning
When fighting to survive.
And loyalty will only matter
If you really strive
Friendship is a knowledge
of what you live without
But if you really try you may
be thought about
The rain is falling on my face
as I look up to the sky
A salty substance blurs my vision
As I start to cry.
The world refuses pity, yet swallows up the pain
I'm left with a numb emptiness
never to be the same
Awake in the darkness.
Awake in the sight.
Sleep refuses comfort
And day refuses light
My barriers refuse me
The love and friendship that I need
Yet my friends still think I'm funny and full of glee,
as empty as I am I try so hard to be,
someone they except
even if it can't be me.

I absolutely loved it, maybe because I could really relate to it but then again I liked everything about it!
Your emotions clearly run high and you express it greatly in this piece!!
Outstanding work!!

Wow I like it, one of my favorites is one of the first I ever wrote. You did a nice job on the rhyme, and your vocabulary was awesome. I can definently relate to it. Its a great piece in that it takes an older topic and still makes it new. Good luck ~peace

strong emotion and personal. It made me really feel your pain. Good job

WOW
THAT MADE ME CRY, I HAVE NEVER READ A POEM THAT I COULD RELATE TO SO MUCH. NO POEM HAS EVER MADE ME CRY. CRY IN A GOOD WAY ....A WAY OF UNDERSTANDING PAIN AND TRYING SO HARD TO BE HAPPY. YOU WRITE FROM YOUR HEART AND MY ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOU IS GENUWIN!! GOOD LUCK! LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WRITE ANOTHER! -
that was great please make more like that

It is as the rain drops. Bouncing around like puddles on the ground in such a rythem. I like this peice. It is simple but it says so much. It is sad but it speaks out and your voice is reasurred as you write on. This is a great peice of poetry.Indeed I would love to see more.
Thank you very much and best of luck! Don't forget to read one other peice in the contest!

Very beautiful and sad at the same time. Many of us can relate to feeling all alone in this world. A couple of spelling errors but a nice write.
