What I am

Black, blue, and purple

My favorite colors

Along with red

The color of blood

I am not your average person

Yes, most may say I am emo

Gothic, black colors are easy

They don’t stain

Nor show

They make us like a shadow

They hid us from the world

Yet they still see me

Why

I never asked for your attention

I never asked you to give a damn

I am a person

But I am not human

I am not an angel

I am the sin

I am the one you should hate

I should be abused

And who knows

Maybe I like being abused

Don’t say I am emo

Because cutting takes away my mental pain

Don’t tell me I am gothic

Because white and pink

Aren’t my friends

I am just who I am

No need to change me

Stop trying

Damn you people

I am not sick

I am not in need of a doctor

I don’t want these damn pills

Unless you say, take the whole bottle…

God…

Make the yelling stop

When I read this poem, I read a person who has low self esteem who hates themselves who has come to believe that they deserve bad things to happen to them because they're not worthy enough. I like how your poems portray an accurate representation of life, and what it is to be human.

Ahh, I suffer from migraines as well, they are a b***h aren't they?

This reminds me of how much I hate head doctors. They never know reality. Their only aim in existance is to steal our money and go golfing! Loved the last line! That's so me when I wake up with a migraine! lol

Fab piece of prose!

I like it. I think it's really good and it's brave to write about oneself.

Thank you all, I am glad the poem has helped you in some way. Joewade, your girl friend seems like a nice person. Having you must help her through it. Do I find it better when people try to help me... no people are ignorant, they think they know everything. When they know nothing. I don't trust others judgements. All we are is what we learn, and if we learn nothing, we know nothing. Yet those very people think that know everything.

My girlfriend went through years of this, and she could have used this poetry then. She is so beautiful, and the world treated her so horribly. I love her.

The emotion that you convey in this are crystal. Do you ever find that the world is not a terrible place when people want to help you? Just a thought. I truly hope life gets better for you, but please, don't stop writing. There are a lot of people that need to read your writings.

[hmm]

really well written. I know what you mean about the pills and not wanting them. Like this

Comes off as being some person struggles to peoples reactions to the "emo" and "goth" looks. I fully understand how judging people can be. The poem expresses extreme anger near the end, maybe indicating that you've had enough. Good Write.

I play music on the headphones really loud.

This is a really good poem... Kind of unclear
