The rain falls slowly to the ground,
As all of my loved ones I have found.
Dying around me as we speak,
And wondering why they've reached their peak.
Peak of unhappiness to make them yearn,
They want to leave but people say they'll burn.
For all my life I've come to find,
all of my loved ones have left me behind.
In this world full of hate, but who can I blame,
My parents for bringing me into a world full of shame.
Full of hatred and prejudice that we could live without,
Wishing I could change it but knowing the doubts.
I despise this life I'm left to lead,
Stepping on others so that I can succeed.
I know it's not right but what can I do,
Let it all go and leave it for you?
So as I've been told whenever I am lonely,
Your born alone, you die alone -for you are your one and only.

Yeah, I'll second that. The last two lines were really great. The first four lines are good too. But I wouldn't use peak at both the end of line 4 and the beginning of line 5. Maybe precipice or tip or something like that. Other than that, nice poem.

The last two lines in ur poem are words to live by...you are a very "earcatching" poet.

I really liked this poem..it helps me realize that it's ok to be alone.
