Hey everyone this is a poem I want to send in for a school competition and I'd appreciate it a lot if you can tell me what you think and I'm still trying to get a good heading or name for it
tnx Poetman

Pain in Happiness

In a warm classroom on a cold day with the roaring of voices
And in some people's pockets somewhere phones' noises
Children trying to quiet their friends
Putting up the silence fence

Looking over them you see fondness, happiness and love
and rumors floating like a dove
somewhere in happiness I sense sadness and hate
In a dark corner a boy trying to determine his fate

Turning away to sob
his face lifted up
Looking into his defensive eyes wondering about mine
Looking in he knows just like I that all is not fine

There where I stand in light I start to cry
the feeling one feel is dry
Sorrow, anger, hate, rejection and neglect it's all there
This boy's soul is bare

Again he turns away because of fear
his emotions ran away like a dear
I returned a smile for his smile of hope
and that let down a rescue rope

Interesting write, I understand the frustration of youth and the fears of growing up or the need to be included.

The poem itself seems fine, but for extra credit, you might use punctuations.
