On The Outside Looking In

Just raw feelings on paper.

I used to feel like I belong
But now I am a stranger
I realized I am no longer strong
Realized I am in danger

I'm in danger of breaking down
In danger of non-stop tears
In danger of being drowned
It's hard to face my fears

I can never say what's on my mind
It'd just cause a world of pain
I will continue to keep them blind
While I'm stuck here under the rain

I look at their happy faces
While I lurk in the shadows with a sigh
I wish that I could trade places
Instead of silently saying goodbye

Maybe I'll rid of these feelings somehow
I'll rid of my evil twin
But I still know that for now
I'm on the outside looking in

Author's Note

Constructive...these are my feelings after all

it's really good, though i would say that alot of your poems rhyme and you should be wary that tis sometimes stretches the syntax. but it is, as i said, really good.it really creates an exact image of the pain felt when you are experiencing family problems.
it was a pleaure reviewing your(other) poem, thankyou for reviwing mine,lol.

This is very authentic and that is all that matters..
Wonderfully penned...I dunno why but this one just tugged at my heart and started a turmoil of thoughts.
