So different than everyone around me
They stare like we should all be the same
I have no one to turn to
In this crazy world
No body understands
Can't sleep cause I feel sick
Sick of all this nonsense
Sick of the pain I have endured
Supposed support only supports my difference
Symtoms are getting unbearable
Lost between fantasy and reality
To the point of confusion
Some would send me away
Others laugh and disregard all I have said
Unknown others understand
but I have no way of getting to them
My needs and wants are getting stronger
Only one thing can silence them
I am scared
I am alone
I have no place to go
But still one question awaits
WHO AM I
Author notes
I am going through a time of self discovery and don't know what to do. These are my feelings.

I wish I could say that it all gets easier as you age, but it doesn't. Many of us still wander through the Shadowlands searching for that safe port to call home. We know who we are though we may not know why. Sometimes a secret strength is gained when you never quite fit in with the norm. Whatever the topic, only we can answer the question.
Peace

I thank you for your truth. Yes i realize now it doesnt ever become easier, but the strength you speak of does come, and it is very powerful, and it can help anyone, get through anything. Thanks for the comment, i really appreciate it!

Hmm. Very deep, personal. I can certainly feel the confusion.
I can understand the emotional turmoil, where you're not entirely sure who even can understand you when you can't figure out some of your own thoughts. Very nice.
A great write, thank you for entering it!

I am an unknown and I understand but you can get to me through your words. I am very impressed with the strength of your words though I am almost sorry that one so young must have such strength. But then again. You can only be who you are and I wouldn't want it any other way because then I would never have had this poem to read.
