You know what, I'm worth it.

Did you ever just have someone telling you.. that you were not good enough, not perfect enough to live in this world. I guess I want this poem to kind of empower those who've this has happend to .. to speak up and say you know what I'm worth it and your o

 

I sit alone in my room in a little corner

Letting my soul pour out through the poetry I'm forming

Sadness fills my soul and I feel so cold

Then the anger takes over to warm me

 

A cry for attention

In return all I get is this life of constant detention

Breathless leaving me to write

Fighting back through words just for spite

 

 

You stare at me with such dissapointment

You make me feel like I'm something you can just toy with

I'm not a rag-doll

I'm not a door-mat

I wish you'd just think about how much you hurt me before you react

 

 

You never really look at me to see how much I'm hurting inside

I'm this and I'm that

I'm way too fat

I'm not even worth it

 

 

I just close my eyes and take a breath

There are people out there who I believe do care

They'll care about how I feel and what I have to say

I shouldn't believe what a nobody tells me anyway

I can't even think of anything to say about this one except "amazing." Beautifully written and the flow is nearly perfect. I love the emotion it lets off and it releases just the perfect amount of angst. The difference in the text makes it that much better.

A very inspirational piece, Sarah. This flowed very well and the different fonts added a nice touch.

Your poem reminds me of a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt:
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent".

I enjoyed this, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

Creative style with the form of your words. I like the positive message and how you used colors as well.

This is good. It says so much. Your words have such power. How many times do people wish for someone to understand them? This is good. Very good writing.
