I am lost in this place that we call life
looking desperately for something to hold onto
I look to the ones that swore love and protection
only to find that I am alone and dejected
I get pushed around, kicked around, called hateful names
walking around in a haze with my head hung in shame
I need to find some peace of mind to heal my heart
but all I seem to find instead is more of the same old thing
there is no hope, there is no peace, there is only me
lost, alone, and broken.

I feel this every day of my life and have since I was a child. It hits home on so many levels. I truely know how this feels. This write could of been written by me about me. Thank you for sharing. It is wonderful, raw and emotionaly packed

I really feel this. How many of us really walk around harboring that inside us. I for one do. I feel like that so often. You have touched my heart.

Sad write with powerful ending. This is the type of poem that after reading it I feel like sending a private message of hugs and kisses to the author.
If it's based on truth, know this. You aren't alone. Many young people wage a war silently. The best thing you can do is find a friend that understands you.
When I went through all the shit I did (check author info if you wanna know), all my 'friends' were useless and didn't understand. All but one, Julie. A lot of my first writings were to/about her and to this day she holds a place in my heart.

The point is, there is always someone, somewhere, who will understand. Just a matter of finding them.
Take care.
