Empty

Decisions of my own seem to fail me

I'm nothing compared to others

So I try hard to be like them

I try to be the tough one

I try to be the favourite one

But I can't help feeling empty

Knowing it's not like me

[Apebble]

I honestly don't know what to write...This is so honest and open...so raw, yet beautiful. This really conveys such an excellent message and one cannot help but feel a strong tug at the heart while reading this.

I think this is something most people could relate to, despite their social status. We all want to be loved and accepted and, quite frankly, there are going to be groups or individuals that reject us. We will try to fit in, and whether we succeed or fail at being accepted we end up feeling hollow as we are no longer ourselves.

Wonderful wonderful poem!
