She And Me
She smiles, I cry.
She's brave, I'm shy.
She loves, I'm alone.
She's amazing, I'm unknown.
Teens who consider themselves Emo's or are labeled as Emo by their peers often turn to poems and song lyrics to express their painful feelings of alienation. The path to healing and peace always includes both recognition of the self and acceptance of the self. This may be the reason why poetry is so therapeutic to an "Emo". Frequent visitors to FFP find that reading poems can be as therapeutic as writing poems. We hope the poems displayed here can help you find comfort and acceptance.
She smiles, I cry.
She's brave, I'm shy.

I went through pretty much everything that I have read here so far. The mask, keep it up long enough and it eventually becomes part of you. I used to be a cutter, the only reason I stopped...

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...
I am so alone and some people say that is good but it is actually my greatest fear. My parents and family don't understand they wouldn't begin to know the problems I hold in my hands. You...

From start to finish I wonder why
The cuts look good in this messed up lie
The blood that trickles down my arm
People all stare at the girl who self-harms.
This poem really touched my heart. I'm 16 and I started cutting when I was 13. My daily life in school was unbearable. All the kids hated me, I hung out with the wrong people, and I started...
Have you ever sat up at night
And just let your barrier down?
Brick by brick.
I've sat in silence and cried
I have never been in a situation where I would intentionally hurt myself, but I know people who would. I keep telling them you are loved, but they don't listen! So my only hope for this short...
This emotion runs deep,
Deeper than words can speak.
A burning sensation held deep inside her heart.
She knew she had to feel it some day from the start.
I have the same thing everyday when I try and talk to somebody they tell me to f**k off and sort them out myself but reading these are really making me think and helping. thank you
I also...

I am depression.
You know me for destroying people's lives.
My mother is the drugs you take to ease your pain.
My father is the pain you feel every day.
This is really good. You should consider making a deviant art account for your writing :) My profile link is above, check it out sometime.
She is happy, I'm sad.
She has friends, I don't.
People understand her;
No one understands me.
Everyone has a mask they hide behind. I've put on a mask of emotions since I started going to school. My friends never understand, and I can't make them, it's hard to explain, and it's like...
Emo is scary.
Emo hurts,
But don't tell that I told you.
Not another word.
I agree completely, nothing bad about emo itself, but the emo stereotype and label that people give you is what can hurt.
It's amazing to me
How cruel love can be
To someone who has been through it all
Just to fall
This poem is beautiful, I'd love it if you wrote more! :)
