I'm so tired of being here,
So tired of reliving this,
tired of giving and only getting betrayed in return.
Why can't I just learn ?
Why can't i just seal the windows, lock the doors,
and hide behind the sofa ?
Hide behind the mask.
I know you think I over-react
Get impatient when I dont fight back..
all I lack for in assertiveness, I make up for with submissiveness.
I know you think I shouldn't care,
and I shouldn't feel alone when you're right there...
but there is too much to tell, to much I burden myself with,
so that even the littlest things seem like mountains I must climb alone.
I don't know what to tell you to make you see,
the complexity I see, where your eyes only lay on simplicity,
inside of me, there is so much I am trying to tackle, trying to overcome,
that it leaves me vunerable and over-emotional, where you fall numb.
I know I can't fight every battle and win all my wars, I know this has no cause.
I know that you can't possibly understand..... cause I can only be what I am.
I'm not like you anymore, I'm something else now.
And I wish i wasn't.
I think only one personwill get this and I feel sad and weird about that.

I love the emotion that this piece holds. I couldnt pick a favorite line with this one. Great job keep it up.

This is a very heartfelt poem. My favorite part was the second stanza I could feel the emotion in this part. Great job!!

Everyone has to fight his own battle sooner or latter.Sometimes the life seems to be a very hard animal to deal with but soon you become familiar to the odds and you acquire the skill to handle various fearful events of life with much ease. This is only a notion that we feel we can not go alone.In fact we all march together all alone in ourselves.

This is heart breaking in a sad way. It's got so much emotion and is so well written at the same time. Your feelings you're expressing in this poem come across in a really strong way and this helps connect with the reader.
I especially liked the last couple of lines:
"I know that you can't possibly understand..... cause I can only be what I am.
I'm not like you anymore, I'm something else now.
And I wish i wasn't."
It was as if you'd come to a conclusion by the end of the poem.
Well done.
Great write
