Tell me someting dear' "Do you know what it's like?"
Huh do you do know how it feels to wake up in the morning with nothing left to live for?
How it is painful to watch the world keep moving while being stuck somewhere in between this place of solitude.
To walk along a path and feel everyone's hatred towards you,
Mingling amongst peers who don;t respect you or feel you are worth anything as an individual.
Feeling empty inside all the time.
Getting emails and hoping they bring good news,
yet all they bring is woe and sorrow.
Upon walking onto that campus the world that once was mine is now a painful memory.
All the pain just builds and surmounts into unspeakable rage, just waiting for its chance to be unleashed.
And yet "Do you know what it's like to be this way?"

yeah i was in a bad mood that night, i had just about lost the only good thing in my life right now, so i took my frustration out in this poem and several others that i wrote

i like the idea that you have here, it's an interesting piece of prose, the flow doesn't exactly work for me, and there are some typos, but you definatly have the prompt bang on, best of luck in the contest

this poem is full of anger.
it could do without the quotes, and could be re-organized.
