I place a wall Before myself To keep my feelings inside A steel wall Reinforced Impenetrable A wall of Styrofoam A defense against Hurtful comments from others Easily broken through Not hard to climb It can only take so much Before collapsing And I under it My steel wall Backs me up Supports me lest I fall No one knows The true way I feel They are none the wiser To my pain And my sorrow Unless they have the key Of true friendship Few have this key And so I stumble blindly Searching for a stronghold in my life A constant factor Unchanging Something to anchor me down To keep me From being swept away By a current of pain I reach out Looking for a hand to hold A life raft I find nothing And I sink to the bottom Of depression And self-hatred |

I am sorry for the way you feel. I have felt the same. I don't mind sharing my story. I was in the 7th grade and everyone made fun of me about the acne on my face. I would let it bother me so bad and hurt me so much. but now since I have gotten older I have my wall that is so strong and all of my friends to hold me up. So believe in yourself and don't let things bother you. Because trust me they are not worth all of the pain. They are people that want to bring only themslves up. |

Carrie~ Thank you for sharing your story. My life these past few months has been a living Heck. I've had so many problems to deal with, and so many people to listen to putting me down. At some points it just felt like I couldn't take it anymore. But finally, things are starting to look up, and I've got great friends who support me every step of the way.  Lyndz |

I too am sorry for the way you feel, Lyndz. Way too many of us out there experience such things. Myself included.

Lyndz-i really liked your poem. I felt that way so many times in my life that i feel weird if i'm not feeling that way. Reading and writing poems that i can relate too help alot though. It's kind of an escape you know? Well anyway, you're a great writer. Keep it up. :-) ------------------ "All the words i wish your fingers could feel...I wish you could speak to my fear"-Jewel |
