Weight on my shoulders growing
Feeling the pressures of the world
Is there no one who understands me?
Appears that I am on my own

Can't explain these haunting feelings
All I ever wanted was happiness
Seems that is too much to ask for
In a cold world without helping hands

Why am I so quick to care for others?
Only leads to me being hurt in the end
No one would do for me what I would for them
Don't want to believe this, left with no choice

Recent events have created these new ideals
Deceived, Blinded or Flat out dumb
One of these I am, but wish I wasn't
It's lead to these unbearable feelings I possess

Introspection becoming more useless
Answers are lost never to be found
At least that's the impression I have
In my my quest for self-awareness

Appears that I am on my own
Is there no one who understands me
Feeling the pressures of this world
Weight on my shoulders growing.........Does anyone even Care?

I liked the last bit "Does anyone care at all?" It seemed to sum up the poem. I liked this, it made a good departure from rhyming. Well done Kyle!
