I'm writing this poem,
As a reminder to some,
That I am just human,
You're not the only one.

I breathe and I sleep,
I eat and I drink,
I also have emotions,
So just stop and think.

The words that you say,
The thoughts that you share,
Will hit me in the face,
Oh, but you don't care.

I am young and I'm sensitive,
I can't handle too much,
But yet you talk about me,
Oh jeez, thanks a bunch.

The damage you have caused,
May not seem so obvious,
But inside I am aching,
And you'll still remain oblivious.
I'm just the fool who carries the load,
Holding all of the baggage with nowhere to go,
Left to handle myself while the people laugh at me,
A one person circus who has no feelings.

Where is my standing ovation?
Can I be offered salvation?

I've cradled your fears but no one will hold me,
Dealing with something that's bigger than me,
Kicking and screaming as you drag me away,
I put up with stress for one extra day,

Now look what has happened again
Imprisoned without a friend

Washed away tears that people have cried,
Over breakups and disputes and people who've lied,
But when I need something  to cope with the pain,
I was beaten and forgotten and bruised with the shame,

Nobody fought for me
*Nobody thought about me
Pull the pin,
Launch the grenade,
Take cover,
Bang

*There goes my heart
Short and sweet
You once asked me
"Don't you feel lonely?"
with all my words
and actions
that has caused people anguish.

Yes
Now I do feel lonely.
You are satisfied aren't you.
Recently two of my friends had problems
with themselves
I know it's really hard for them.
Feeling inadequate
worthless
useless
ugly
horrible.
I feel that way too
all the time.

I just got down to write one whole page of long message
for the two of them.
They teared.
For once I actually felt like I did something write
I actually felt like I was loved
I actually felt like I was a good friend.
(but this feeling went away as soon as it came).

I realise that
I can't go
battles
journeys
fights
with themselves and everything else.

But I promise
I will be standing by their side
to give them support
to lend them a hand
to put a smile on their faces
to let them know that they are still worth it
to let them know they are loved
to let them carry on
to give them strength.

:-)
"The saddest people are the people
who try the hardest
to make others the happiest.

Because they know how it feels like
to be worthless.

And they do not want anyone else
to feel the same way."
