Stare into oblivion, see colors they can't see,
biting my lip, I try not to cry out for help
but if I were to die inches away from your grasp
would you think I only wanted attention?

The wind blows through my curtains,
fall is sweeping it's way into my heart
and I'm lonely, too lonely anymore
I don't even know where to go from here.

Lives move on, mine drags behind
and I run as fast as I can to keep up,
but I can never reach your smiling faces,
so I wait until one makes it's way back to me.

If I was never born, what would that make me
would I be weak for regreting my existance,
would it make me anymore whole to admit,
that I'm slipping into depression once again?

Noises of the night try to sing me to sleep
as I sit here on my bed, holding my pillow tight
when will someone finally see me?
The real me, the person thats hidden underneath?

You have tried, I know you have tried
and I have let you in as far as I can
but every I love you only pains my heart,
because I never learned to love myself as well.

Howdy....not a Teen...not by about 15 or more years, but I enjoy good poetry when I read it, and in this one, I have.  This one is a common denominator, and you have given voice to something so ofttimes felt by those who think and feel, yet rarely expressed.  You do, indeed, have great potential.  What you do with it it entirely up to you, though I have to wonder: do you really want your copyrighted materials known by a pseudonym?  This could be a problem later down the publication road, but I digress.

Irregardless, this one was a very poignant piece, and one I, among others, could relate to.  Thank you for that.

it was alright. ummm....check your verb tense agreements. in the opening stanza, you used two different verb tenses. just make some little clean ups and this one will be fine.

Woah...speechless by this poem.  I enjoyed it so much, it was so emotional and I could relate as well.
Great job! This one is going into my library.
