Let Me

My thoughts are dead

My mind is weak

I try to say something

But I simply can not speak

It's like I'm on repeat

Almost incomplete

Can anyone hear me?

Am I actually here?

I am dead on the inside

Alive on the outside

Can you see this smiling girl?

So sad and alone

I try to speak

My words unavailable

I am screaming

Shouting at the top of lungs

Hoping for a simple response

But non of you know me

Non of you care

You pass me by in the hallways 

Looking at me with a stare

A stare of anger

A stare of hope

Or a simple stare from a stranger

But not one hello

Let me speak

Let me shout

Let me have one outburst of thought

A thought out loud

Let me be great

Let me be strong

I know I'm not very smart

But I am strong

I keep trying and trying

Working so hard

Just let me speak

Say one word

Cause' my mind is weak

My thoughts are dead

There is this monster

Inside my head

Being able to relate to a poem is always a plus in my book, since it's always nice to connect with the writer in some way, shape, or form. "I am dead on the inside
Alive on the outside" I've definitely been there. I like the flow of this poem. It carries me a long from beginning to end seamlessly. The one thing I would recommend is add stanza breaks to this poem, so it's easier to read for all the readers out there. This isn't something that you have to work on, but if you want to experiment into writing even better poems, I'd recommend, adding some vivid imagery as well. Anyway, I definitely like this poem and it was certainly an enjoyable read
