Could You Deal With It?

I could tell you what I feel if I knew how that even felt…
I’m not sure if I’m alive, not sure if I would even feel the pain induced by a belt…
I might be numb from depression or just overwhelmed with emotional pain…
I have nothing left to loose, what could I possibly have to gain…
I want to keep my head on straight, and not get too carried away…
I struggle to complete even a task as simple as that throughout the day…
I cry before I sleep, I question what it would be like if come tomorrow morning I was dead…
I roll over onto my side, curl up into a ball underneath the sheets of my comfortable bed…
I try to convince myself life will get better, but my mind is constantly plagued with doubt…
I look for a way to stop myself from think harshly, so far, no way out…
I want to keep my mouth shut when I feel the rage come over me so strong…
I want to keep my mouth shut, but truth is, they got the story all wrong…
I end up yelling, screaming out all the anger I couldn’t contain…
I attempt to hold back tears, I attempt to not complain…
I shake my head, confusion flowing up and down my spine…
I feel myself spinning, this prohibits me from walking a straight line…
I wait to put myself together, I’m tired of being broken pieces…
I’m through with coming up with questions to ask, I’m not writing another thesis…
I find myself terrified, I want nothing to do with my past…
I’ve found I am a coward, I heard those don’t last…
I want to ask questions to get answers, I want them to get the facts straight…
I’m not looking for a hug, I’m looking for them to accept, understand, and appreciate…
I want them to hear the truth this time, want them to not judge what I say or do…
I want them to think this time what if I were YOU?

This is OH-so powerful. The emotion in this is almost tangible, and I can relate so much, like I'm sure many other people can too. Great writing as usual :D

Finally got around to reading this one! [:

I love how you seem to have a writing style that is all yours. In this poem especially, you seem to create questions and then answer them yourself, which I adore, because it's so different from most other authors. It requires imagination. [:

Keep it up, always, and let me know when you've got new stuff! :D

okay,... the first, second, third, *fourth, 19, 20, 23 and 24 lines murdered the poem. by that i mean they made the poem and it was really good. everything else was pure awesomeness but i really loved those lines. i love the rhyming scheme aussi. do your dance with these five stars of mine.

Wow this is one of the most amazing pieces I've seen latley! You really now how to tug at the reader's heart! You get the reader to think about it..and I find that as one of the most interesting parts of writing. I too try to work that into my pieces. Keep up the great work!
