I don't get it...
I just don't get it...

Why are you playing games with me?
Don't mess with my mind,
Because we'll both lose in the end.

However,
You are not used to that sort of pain.
You tell me to my face my faults,
With no remorse,
And then look to me for sympathy and advice for your own troubles....

Get away from me...
Just get away...

What's wrong?
Nothing...
Leave me alone...
I have no emotions right now and I feel hollow inside.
I wish I should hide in my open wounds and disappear,
For who would miss me?

You'll never know what I've been through...
Through these years...

The pain may linger in my now faded eyes,
But it's better that you don't know why.

The trust has been lost,
And I do have my reasons.
They build each day as every single one of my "friends" turn against me...

Don't call me your friend,
You don't really know me.
You don't know the real me,
You only know what I present to be...

If you only knew...

One way or another the truth is shown,
And another scar is formed.
Another damn scar...
Fortunately they can always be covered,
Or I'd be uglier than I already am.

Don't look at me like you care.
That feeling is sorely needed for me,
And I'll reach out for it.
Don't lend out a hand, a voice, or a heart,
Only to snatch it away and push me down...
Because I'll stay down until my image looks like everything is ok again.
Inside, I am always troubled...
It's been this way for as long as I can remember...

So this tired mind continues to search for
Someone to listen...
Someone to love...
And they will see the true me,
If there is such a thing.

I can see in the look you give me,
That I am not worth it to you.
You have other friend’s right?
Closer friends...
"Better" friends...

When will I learn.

I guess I can't help it.
I would love to trust
To love
To know I was wanted...

Well...

Just turn out the lights,
I will never get it.

A poem i wrote in 2002...i must have been feeling sorry for myself or something when i wrote this...yet it's funny that although i wrote this 2 years ago, i can still relate to the main point.

This is a powerful piece of work. I can also relate to the main points of it. I don't exactly feel this way anymore, but I sure used to. It brings back a lot of memories of earlier in high school.

yah, same here...a lot of highschool drama...bleh
:iconsiric:
Ya, I hear ya. You know, I thought that stuff would end after high school, but it turns out it only gets worse. Go figure (but now you have something to look forward to).

hahaha, NOOOO...

actually i've already heard that from a bunch of my college buddies...it doesn't surprise me at all...everyone has this idea in their brains that once you get to college everything suddenly turns tramendous. me, being the pessimist that i am...have never thought that way.
:iconsiric:
Well I wasn't expecting everything to get tremendous, but I did expect people to approach relationships with a bit more maturity, but I think the lack of structure actually makes people worse. Go figure. I am cynical but not pessimistic enough I guess.

yah, i can see things changing a few years INTO college...but everyone expects instant gratification, (if you know what i mean). they don't seem to realize that everyone in that college came from a high school and need to adjust. they aren't going to mature right off the bat. people can get worse, that's for sure, and i agree that lack of structure is one of the links to it (although it's not a very good excuse).
:iconallaroundblueartist:
i really like the irony in these two lines:

And they will see the true me,
If there is such a thing.

makes me think about when i was having a fight w/ my friends and yelling at them to see past what im pretending to be and at what i am. but i didnt even know. your friend is so right about it only getting worse after high school. i have seen a new side to my friends that i have never noticed before. good poem. well written. and i really can relate!
