Perspective of my Life!

This is a poem I wrote one day when I felt really down about myself, which is most of the time.

I tried to fit in,

But no matter how hard I tried,

I never could and never will,

I can act and look like everybody else,

But I would just be fake,

Not my true self,

A Loner; A Freak,

While everyone else plays sports,

I write and read,

Imagine and think about things that do not and will not exist,

I can dream they do,

But deep down I know,

That they do not exist,

And I will never be accepted,

Maybe one day I will stop dreaming,

Maybe one day I will stop believing,

And Maybe one day I will just give up on life,

I try so hard to live,

But some days I just want to die,

Everywhere I go I get treated like I am nothing,

I know I will never someone there for me,

To be there for me,

Care about me,

Love me for me,

A friend when I need one,

Because who would want to be friends with me,

Clearly no one,

All just because of who I am.

Bravo! You would be surprised at how many people have felt like this. All your works have the power of your conviction of self awareness, not everyone can reach so deep into themselves with shedding tears. You should read my poem Social Outcast some time. I know I say this all the time but it is true, I look forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you so much for the wonderful view; sometimes it is easier to write how I feel then keep it bottled up.
