Can Anybody Hear Me?
I want someone to hold me,
But I'm the only one here.
I want someone to listen to me,
But I'm the only ear.
Being alone is one of the saddest conditions for a human being to experience. You may feel alone with your family, if you think that no one understands you. Often people are afraid to share who they are because they think that they will be rejected. However, if you are not sharing who you are, you are not truly with the people you love. On the other hand when you share your true self, you risk being rejected. Often individuals seek people out of the family unit with whom they can share themselves without fear of rejection.
I want someone to hold me,
But I'm the only one here.
I want someone to listen to me,
But I'm the only ear.
Trust me, you're not alone. My parents tell me that they went through this phase as a teenager, but I have taken so many depression tests, and they all say I have it. I feel like there is no...

Of course I'm fine, why do you ask?
Oh, don't mind this, it's just my mask.
It hides the grief, it hides the strife.
I wear this mask to escape the knife.
Thank you for your story.
When I was nine years old, I was raped. And it continued for two years. I never told anyone because the man threatened to hurt my family. When I wrote this...
Imagine yourself
Alone in your head.
You're hanging, dangling
From a silver thread.
We hear you without a doubt! But don't let those feelings take you out. Your mom, you dad, and your friends all about are silently listening and praying, no doubt. We love you, we care, we're...

I help you through hard times, as you do I,
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...
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.
Slowly I feel myself breaking.
My knees feel weak; it seems I'm shaking.
My arms are tired and my legs feel numb.
My mind in a haywire and I want to run.
Such a touching poem. I love the diction used. It really creates an atmosphere that rhymes well with the subject matter.

Each night I find myself sitting against the tree,
Hating myself, locking my heart and throwing away the key,
I sit there and wait, just hoping for the someone who may care.
No one ever comes, nor will they, I am aware.
It was one word...DIVINE. You might think you are forgotten, but your poem will never be forgotten. It will forever sing in our heart. You are a talented poet and you should never stop....
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...
I know I get angry, I know I rant and scream
But all I want to do is wake up from this dream
I try to stop being rude, I try to brush things off
But it's hard to do all this when I feel I'm not good enough...
This poem was so touching. I want to say that I know what you are going through, but I can't. I have my own problems that I feel guilty about and wish I could escape them. But I can tell you...
The me you see is not the real me.
This isn't who I wish to be.
I hide the pain, I hide the strife.
Honestly, I just want to escape this life.
I was really amazed by the level of sorrow in this poem. It truly touched me. Sometimes I, too, feel myself in the same condition of loneliness and sorrow. This poem reminded me of my blue...
