41. The Girl I See
I see a girl
Only 15 years
It's a teenager
With eyes full of tears
I see a girl
Only 15 years
It's a teenager
With eyes full of tears

Can no one see this smile I'm faking,
See how, inside, I'm constantly shaking?
These people all claim they know me well,
Yet no one can see through my crumbling shell
This is truly what I feel. Their hopes that I'll be something they think of is fading. It's just killing me. I have no one to express myself to. I don't want someone to feel or even know what...

Hear my cries. I need your help.
Please come save me from myself.
Be my friend, a guiding light.
I love this poem. I'm 17 years old, and I also feel that way. Yes, I have a lot of friends, but no one understands.
Fires ablaze within my eyes,
A smile concealing all my lies,
Screaming, begging, calling out,
A final, frantic, desperate, shout.
Honey, no! You are strong. You are beautiful. Don't believe them when they say you deserve it. You don't! Please, whoever you are, know that people in your life will be mean because they are...
I don't know why I bother to try;
even though I know you'll never be satisfied.
I'm not what you want, and I'm not what you need,
but you're twisting and turning my reality.
I was always considered the black sheep in my family because I looked at the world differently, so I was judged. I was raised in a Christian home but I couldn't understand why you would...
The yells,
yells and screams,
unwanted dreams,
I'm never wanted,
Even when I am alone, I feel this way. I have scars on my wrist from the times I couldn't take the pain of living with people who tell you you're not good enough. that no matter what you do...
No one will ever truly know me.
How can they when they never even try?
Because I smile, they assume I am happy.
I have never been able to be myself. Everyone thinks I'm happy, but I'm not. I hide alone and pretend to be doing something else. I can't cry; if do i'll be caught. I have to pull myself...
We said we would be friends together until the end.
You said you would always be my best friend.
Then you stabbed me in the back.
Now we've lost everything we had.
One day I caught myself smiling, and I noticed I was thinking of you.
Hi, my name is Byndii.
Hi, my name is Jazlyn.
Cool, wanna be friends?
Yeah, sure.
We have to stay together...
Love is a four letter word,
that makes your heart sore.
You think you're in love,
Walking through the rain,
I try to forget the pain.
I try to ignore the sting in my eyes,
because I know a strong girl never cries.
In his first poem, Jordan has exposed his inner feelings so effectively that I feel like developing a strong bond between us. Not because I have undergone the same experiences but because of...
Drowning in a darkness
Of deep despair
Believing the lies I hear
And seeing truths not there
I know how you feel. I'm sorry you feel like that because I know what you're going through. I'm trying to become better myself. People don't understand EMO'S like myself...
I help you through hard times, as you do for me,
But you really don't know how much I hide.
Even though we are the best of friends,
I really don't think you can understand.
For a dad, it's really hard when you’re unable to heal her most precious heart. I read a poem so it can give me ideas on what else I need to say, but what can a dad do if his daughter is...
I'm going to explode,
If I stay here any longer.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I'm under so much pressure.
I love this poem. I'm only 12 but I've lived a very rough life and was forced to grow up. My dad went to prison on my 6th birthday for stabbing someone. He got out a year ago but he's still a...
I am a poet writing about my pain.
I am person recovering and trying to gain.
I am your daughter who is trying to learn.
I am your sister who is starting to turn.
I am constantly made fun if and called emo because when I was 12 I tried to hang myself and I used to cut and have scars all up my arms. I was only depressed because my dad and I were close...
Rain, rain, go away,
Because of you the pain will stay.
Slit my throat, cut out my heart,
Leave me here, tear it apart.
I'm happy to know that Rebecca helped you stop. I don't cut myself, but my best friend has before and still does when times are the worst. Since I met her she has opened my eyes to the...
tears in my eyes
my fears alive
dreams were lost
hopes were dry
Hi! Evi I'm Nick, I'm 14, and I just wanted to say I really do understand what you're going through I've been through and still going through a lot of hurt and pain. So if you a ear or a...
The angel lost her grace,
As mascara ran down her face.
She forgot love, remembered hate.
She no longer had her faith.
I'm writing this because I am sad, down, and I scuffed my pride. Have you ever loved somebody, even though they did you wrong a million times? Sometimes it is better to hurt than be hurt,...
