I dare to be different you call me a freak,
I wanna be heard    but you don’t let me speak
I’m down and you wonder why?!
Not a day passes that don’t make me cry.
I gaze in the mirror    and looking at me,
Ain’t the same person   that I used to see.
Looks haven’t changed      but deep in the eyes,
A world is seen   veiled in lies.
I see the reflection of a heartbroken child,
His sanity slipping his feelings defiled.
Emotionally raped by the people he needed,
Backs turned on him   raped   and then cheated.
Shattered look    tear streaked cheek,
Finally    broken,    unable to speak.

First off-
   WELCOME TO PIP!  

I absolutely LOVE this. The flow was awesome, the rhyme didn't make it childish at all (Which I feel rhyme does to a few poems.) Ya, I saw you had posted another poem and I'm just DYING to read it...If it's anything like this one I'll have to push my lil eyes back in their place. I dunno- Somehting about this was just incredible for me. I hope to see you posting and rpelying very soon!

Welcome to Passions!!

What a whopper of a first post! The emotion and rhyme totally kicked butt. Unfortunately, some people are like that. On the other side of the coin, we need those sorts in this world. Only to realise that they aren't worth our time and to really appreciate the good ones in our lives.
I hope things look up for you soon. Also, I look forward to reading much more of your poetry.

Ok, there was something I needed to do before I did anything...but I forgot. So, anyways...
GEEZ! What an amazing first post. Good gravey (I'm still hungry). The rhymes were great, and the flow...THE FLOW WAS JAMMIN'! (still hungry)
Indeed, you will cause "Kaos" at PIP if you post anymore of these groovin' (does anyone use that anymore? Or am I really really not there?) works! THUMBS UP TO YOU!!! :thumbs up:

And I remembered something...

WELCOME TO PIP!

Not fitting the profile in society today can be rough...Often times, those people (Who aren't quite with the "in crowd"), don't realize how imperfect _everyone_ is. This is awesomely portraied here in this poem....having almost a story line. I can EASILY see the sad and lonely child, finally understanding how.... through all his misery.... he failed to see others pains and sorrows. And when he does realize this, he is too late to save himself from his despair. Incredible writting, with vivid imagry, and words that flow deep. I've got to say, as a friend and a critic, you've definately got something to ya that gives your poetry it's kick. Keep writing...
