Binge

Emptiness,

it's what kills me in the end.

Cut extra fine,

you grind it up and put it in my drink.

Binging on excitement,

but now I'm just plain starving.

Can someone please tell me how

to live my life without this?

Loneliness

comes even in the best of company.

Rejection

comes even without the words.

If nothing else there's still one thing

won't fail to make me smile,

sitting in the grass all day

thinking about revival.

I already know,

I saw my life through a looking glass.

I know the answer,

but somehow forgot to ask for the question.

Binging on excitement,

but now I'm just plain starving.

Can someone please tell me how

to live my life without this?

If nothing else there's still one thing

won't fail to make me smile,

sitting in the grass all day

thinking about revival.

I know the feeling, life is hard but we can get through it...great job.

Life can leave us in a state where we need more. Life can trick us. We can be in paradise and wish for more. I like the feel and emotion in the words. Your use of words made this a very good poem to read and you made me think. A excellent poem.

The absolute worse thing is feeling all alone when you have many people around you. This poem indicates the craving to be noticed, you are starved for the attention you deserve, sounds like you need a big {{hug}} after baring your soul in marvellous words.

Again, astounding that you wear your heart so admirably on your sleeve. Keep up the good work :)

Loneliness
comes even in the best of company. -- Isn't that just the truth? It's sad to reach the point when even friends just... just wear you out right?

This poem is really beautiful, albeit sad. You describe things well without being overbearing. Definitely an endearing piece :) I hope things get better for you, it's so tough to go through those emotions alone.

I really like the stanza, "I already know,
I saw my life through a looking glass." Very well said, although some people may think looking glass is cliche but I think it works.
You use repetition well, it works.
one thing is you could add more imagery, you have the feelings well expressed so now the only thing is missing is...not exactly detailed descriptions of actions/environment of the character per say but words that focus on all 5 of the senses, i.e. sight, smell, hearing, touch, etc.,
awesome poem! :)
