I want to feel
what it’s like to be hugged,
what it’s like to be held
and told “it’s ok.”
I want to feel
what it’s like to be comforted,
what it’s like to cared about
and what it’s like to be loved.
I want to feel
what it’s like to be wanted,
what it’s like to noticed
and not be empty space.
I want to feel
what it’s like to fit in,
what it’s like to belong
and to be accepted for me.
I want to feel
what it’s like to have friends,
what it’s like to have people
look for you, not just the opposite.
I want to feel
what it’s like to be happy,
what it’s like all the time
and not just rarely.
I want to feel
no more sorrow or pain,
no more thoughts about death
and no more tear-filled nights.
I want to feel
all of those things,
but my reality is,
I’m starting to feel nothing at all.
Author notes
This poem is rather self-explanatory, but I wrote it because of the way I have been feeling for so long now. All my poems seem to follow this pattern and I hate it. But no one sees, or cares, or helps. I am always alone and invisible to people, and no one bothers to ever ask, how are you doing? No, because I don't have friends here, or at home, and people seem to see me as just some waster of space that they can use and push around as they like. I'm tired of them and all of this. I guess I just think that if I become numb to it all, it won't affect me as much. Who knows.

well done
you have captured the spirit of the human condition. the desire to be. but you can't make people love you. giving doesn't mean you get. what goes around never comes around. with the exception of a birth leading to the cold straight house of death. time will resolve your conflict and love will come when you take pride in the fact that you do not fit in.
you are a strong writer. many golds to you.

I know that feeling... Your words, your poem sum up everything about how I felt at a point in my life. Those were the darkest days in my life yet I got better even tho I didnt feel I ever would and am sure you will too.
Keep faith, you will wake up one day and the sun will shine for you too.

Oh my god, I have tears in my eyes reading this, having just read "My Life Is".
The darkness of where you are right now must be overwhelming?? Just try to remember that where there is darkness there is always light, and it is the light that keeps us all strong
