Yelling and screaming
Tearing at the seam
Freakin' wanna cave in
Yet you still come near me
The most disagreeable kid
Acting like ready for a fight
Though I'd really rather not
Everything else leaves my line of sight
I feel lost, I feel hopeless
I feel dumb and utterly mean
I want to try to heal myself
But everyone's in my way, it seems
I love you but hate you
I'm creative yet I'm bland
I'm wonderful and miserable
I think, How horrid, how grand!
Feel alone in a crowded place
Hearing them talk to other than me
I may as well just disappear
They'd just as happy be
I don't make a difference
You see that's what hurts, I think
Try so hard to do what I can
And I'm left aside, alone, to sink
You keep pretending, you keep wishing
For everything as the same
I'm not good for you, for them, for me
I never should have came
Though I'll stand it out
Until the last year has passed
Just be the quiet one for now
So your love for me won't last

really good poem. im sure people can relate to it such as myself. line 20 could be worded in a different way but all together great job.

After reading a few times I found the rhyme. This is very heart felt and strong. I think line breaks or stanzas would serve to make it even more powerful ... and easier to find the rhyme too

Hopefully you find soon that you are not alone in the feelings you feel, and that you find the spark that makes you different and stand out from anyone else in the crowd. BRAVO!
