So many mistakes so little I've done right
It is an ongoing strugle I have to fight

You judging me by just one glance
You judging me without just 1 chance

So many things go unseen
Life can be cruel terrible and mean

So many things that still remain
I still have those days of endless pain

You not knowing me, not knowing who Iam
You being fake,just for looks and pretend

You don't know me, and you think you do
You dont know me, you don't have a clue

Having to be the unoticed one
It doesnt even matter, when its all said and done

You laugh and stare
You just dont care

I have so much to deal with you just don't know
This sadness is hidden it wont show

My brother my sister both have a disability
All you can do is laugh at them and me

My grandma has cancer uncurable to mend
Stop this laughing, I want it to end

My life as a child,always so shy
Stop this laughing, Im starting to cry

My life as a child,so distant so sad
My life as a child,so frustrated so mad

Grown up and I still remain this way
I want this judging to stop today

Diagnosed with a sickness nothing i can do
You just dont know me, and you think you do

Going unnoticed without a glance
Judging me on the outside,you never gave me a chance

I have always been understanding of people who arent the same as me
They are people, not retards why dont you just see

Being told I was stupid,some thought I wouldnt make it
I always said, "Don't worry I can take it."

I try to be strong
I try to belong
But everything I do, turns out to be wrong

Sometimes I think why was I given this life style
Life presents problems, I just through them in a pile

I try and lie to myself and say it is okay
Still that pile of problems, haunts me today

Laughter and teasing, stays through my mind
Laughter and teasing, it's all so unkind

I try and make my self better the way you want me
But still went unnoticed,so unhappy

Constint strugles I have you just dont know
I hide my tears , they cannot show

I don't see why you don't just like me for me
I don't see why you don't like me for me, cause it's all I can be

I'm sorry if that isn't good enough for you
You don't know me, you may think you do

Still struggles I'll have they wont disaper
Life can be blury, and sometimes unclear

All I can do is do my best
So what If Iam different from the rest
My life isn't easy, but yet it is blessed

I cry my invisable tears I hide them for you to see
I cry beacuse you don't understand me

I cry beacuse It's all I can do
I cry becuse of your laughing, I cry becuase of you

Invisable tears, I don't want you to see
Invisable tears,Life feels so emptiy

This is a well written poem. I dont know all that much about poetry but i think that this reflects what you must be feeling pretty well.

I know how this feels second hand. My brother is mentally challenged so I know how it is to see how people treat individuals like my bro on a daily basis.
Anyhow, I enjoyed the poem. It's raw and I liked it.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I try to be strong
I try to belong
But everything I do, turns out to be wrong

I know so well how this feels, although im not disabled myself my sister has a physical diasabiltiy and I've seen her go through so much pain, embarressment and more...

I for one think this is so low, and i can really relate to how you feel...

Such a sad post,

This was a very sad poem, but I enjoyed it all the same.  You may want to correct the spelling of "Invisible", and there were a few places were the rhyme scheme could be patched up a little bit.  Like in the 5th stanza, it just kinda disappeared.  I really liked the content though.  Nicely done.

This is so awfully sad.  People can be so cruel and heartless. I thought you did a wonderful job expressing yourself here. Very powerful.

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

I think everyone can relate to this.  Everyone's felt like this before.  It hit close to home a little for me.  Awesome poem!

Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself.  That's what I live by.
