What Good is There in Me?

What good is there in me?

Nothing--Nothing anyone can see.

I'm just empty, no feeling anywhere.

I stand in the crowd, I see everyone stare.

I wonder why should I care, 

when no one else seems to care.

I'm invisible to all. 

No one is watching, no one will see me fall.

Everyone wishes to be the king. 

All in all, I just wish to be seen.

Here I am, such a lonely teen,

having no friends, no shoulder to lean.

Why do I have to feel this way for?

It's like my heart has been forever torn.

I just cannot be good enough,

good enough for anyone to show me love.

Pieces of me are scattered all around.

I can't even climb over this heavy mound.

What am I supposed to do?

No one will tell me, no not even a clue.

My heart is cold and blue, 

all these things are completely true.

My life is just washing away.

Like a glass bottle floating out from the bay.

So here I stay afloat, on top of the water I lay

I feel worthless more and more each day.

Never will I be worth it for anyone to stay.

For anyone to accept me and my way.

I am who I am, can't you just see.

See something, something good in me.

Just broke up with a partner? Or maybe you just lost your friend or a family member? Or do you just feel like this? Why not share it with the world? It really does help.

I can kind of relate to that line.

Yer writing does help, gets things of our chests. Its the best way to let our emotions out.
Sometimes I think we all think Life all together is pretty crap.
Sometimes we all feel unloved, or less important to others, or even a waist of space.
Sometimes we feel like our lives are going nowhere, and sometimes we just don't know why we were put on earth. What is our purpose?
I can relate to this, im sure allot of people can. And sometimes we don't know why we feel this way.
All we can really do is be there for eachother, when we need someone to talk to.
With saying that im only a message away if you ever want to talk :)

Haha, well thanks. I appreciate it. Yeah, I wrote this and most of my more, dark emotional poems a while back. I was in a depressive state and it allowed my emotions to flow through into my writing. But, since, I have grew to love life actually. Most of why I felt depressed is because of high school. I was one of the least popular students, the "nerd" and "know-it-all." I graduated one of the top of my class, earned a full-ride scholarship, and all. I was never liked by any of my class mates or really any of my peers in other grades either.. which led to my depressive state. It lasted from about sophomore year to the end of junior year. But, when senior year came, i left all of that behind. I told myself that I wasn't going to let all of it get to me, and that's when I wrote my poem "A Brand New Me." Now, I have graduated high school and I am in my first year of college and I am absolutely loving it. I don't have to worry about my past ever again. I was with my class for 12 years, and I had to suffer through it for 12 years. But now, I'll never have to experience it again. It's a way for me to start over, and be the person I want to be.

I know how that can feel I use to get bullied quite allot. It doesn't help when your shy and have no confidence at all haha.
People can be quite mean, but you shouldn't let anyne get to you, most of them are just jealous.
There is nothing wrong with being smart, they probably envied you because they where dumb:P
Thats a brilliant outlook on life you have there, so positive, its quite inspiring acctually :)

My life is quite complex haha. I was never a normal child, and I still am not. I'm 18, and I've been describe by numerous people to be "a forty year old in a teenage body" haha

Thank you! I wrote this about a year ago, when I was very emotionally distraught and I was in a depressive state. It's weird how your emotions flow into your thoughts and writing so powerfully. But i appreciate your feedback! I'm new on here and this is the first time I've publicly shown my poems, so it really means alot to recieve feedback.
