No One Understands

Folder: 
DESPAIR

I sit here

Locked in my room

As I pick away at myself

And feel nothing

I just keep pulling and tearing

Until finally

The episode passes

And I'm left in tears

To realize what I've done

I stare at the mirror

Into this girl's face whom I don't know

The face used to be mine

Now it's not

I'm even uglier than

The last time I gave in to my episode

My medication has gone

I used the last pill 2 days ago

That's how insane I am

I can't go 2 days without my pills

Or I'll start ripping myself apart

My spirit has long since shattered

And my tolleration for pain

Is unlimited

No one else could understand

The pain and ugliness I hide

Under the makeup and clips

No one understands

You think your life is Hell

Well my life

Is Hell desguised as Heaven

Everyday I wish I was you

That I looked perfect like you

Even if you have your problems

At least you're not ugly like me

At least you don't tear youself apart

At least you don't pity yourself

If I can get rid of my disease

Maybe then I can grow

Maybe even heal

And start looking beautiful again

You still don't understand

Words won't show you

Won't let you FEEL this

I wouldn't want you to

It's something I wouldn't want

Anyone else to have to go through

And the worst of it is...

I have only two supporters

And even they don't understand

But they really try to

But I may be down to just one supporter...

My Dad and my friend Chris

But Chris...

Doesn't want anything to do with me

But my Dad will never leave me

I pray he never does

Cause if Heaven claims his soul...

I will die.

I will snap.

Go mental.

And then...

No one will be able to stop me

My will isn't strong enough

So my father is the crutches I stand on

I love my Daddy

I love everything he is

Including his faults

And the same is true for Chris

I just pray he'll reconsider

I need all the help I can get

Even if they can't understand

That's okay

Because...

No one else understands, either.

hey ur not alone i pull my hair out too lol and i used to cut myself u think ur a mess lol how bout me trust me theres lots of people out there that understand you lol um ur poem was really good at the beginning, very poetic and full of feeling but as the poem went on it lost its poeticity and kinda turned into a story about u instead a POEM that TELLS a story about you. I know this sounds like its not a big issue but i've been reading and writing poetry a long time, trust me this is - try not to name the people that you are talking about - if you name the person it kind of takes away the effect it is having on the reader - the reader is trying to feel your poem and apply it to themselves but since your reader doesnt know Chris it takes away the possibility of application. I think if you tried to take away just a little bit of the exessive unimportant and unpoetic words, your poems would be amazing
