Today..

Stabbing my own pale skin,

What kind of messed up world do we live in?

I hate my life, I hate everything in it..

Clamping my tongue so I cannot scream it.

Why am I so bloody worthless?

Why is the standard so close to perfect?

I deserve all my pain.

I truly am the one to blame.

this person sounds like she's in the middle of an anxiety attack. the desperation comes through. she blames herself when she shouldn't. she's hurt. you don't deserve your pain. you just have to learn to cope with it or let the ones who care about you the most help you get through this. a cry for help. great poem.

I know the feeling but remember it's not just you, the blame goes full circle depending on what happened.

[Siren]

know this feeling all to well

I get the picture of a cutter with this. A person who sees the pain around them but can't feel it without inflicting pain on themselves. the poem creates the picture!

No one deserves their pain, well that's my opinion. But we do in fact live in a messed up world. I pray about it, too. But for me to get through anything I have God, family, and friends. I think you did an excellent job on this poem though. Keep up the good work!:)

Such strong emotions put plain and simple. Though I have to wonder if that is really what you think or is it what others think and you just follow along? I've been there. Trust me when I say that those "standards of perfection" don't count in the "real" world of imperfection. You express your feelings very well with the words you have chosen. I'm only sorry that one has to feel that way inside....

this captures how i feel exactly when i'm in a history class. I cannot thank you enough for understanding even when its not for that haha :) good write and very emotional you can tell that the person is reflection on society and life.

I was at work today.. and i saw this little girl who had this smile on her face like she was just so thrilled that the world around her was filled with happiness and love.. then i thought to myself.. i wish i could write a poem that explained just the opposite of what she was feeling.. like the "truth" so to speak.. I think you did just that with this poem! Love it! -s

Very expressive. Teenage angst and confusion put to paper.
Well done.
You need a hug.
