~say whatever...it mite suck but o wel...im jus "venting"~

Nothing I am
is worth anything at all
I try to climb upwards
But every time I fall
No matter what is done
And how much I try
I will never be anything
That's why I cry
I'm never a help
But always in the way
Life seems more pointless
Everyday
Trying to improve
I still carry on
And in the end
I'm always strong
But as life goes on
With everything I sought
I too often realize
Everything I'm not

Wow, this was good.  Venting is an art, I believe that whole heartedly.

Going against the disciplines of the sciences, I will give you this advice.

Be more than the sum or your parts.

Sometimes the accomplishment is in trying to win the prize.  

Good poem, nonetheless.

I think you did great on this poem. Very nicely done. I enjoyed it. It made me go "Ooooo aaaaaaa"

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I did enjoy it!  For once my critical mouth is being kept shut.     This poem is as good as it's going to get.

I agree that we have all felt this way. That's what makes this poem so great - we can all totally relate to it. You write well when you vent   Keep it up.
