unknown

Lost is my heart and part of my soul,
my life is so shattered, my emotions are cold.
the core of my life is hidden so well,
surrounded by layers of personal hell.

Secrets and dreams kept in seclusion,
my existance, no more that a simple illusion.
to have been noticed in this world and appreciated
would have given me a life less isolated.

they think they really understand my feelings,
but none of them see the real pain im conceiling.
too occupied with their own to care about me,
ill wait until they suffer, then i will succeed.

I'd rather be liked for more than appearance,
my talent, my courage or being so fearless.
Im hoping one day they will open their eyes,
they'll see my real beauty, my beauty inside

First of all, Welcome to Passions.  

This was a beautiful poem and I think one reason for that is the fact that it's subject is one that many people can relate to.  Good job, hope to see more of your work in the future

Welcome to Passions!

...and especially to the Teen Forum.

I love the poem; it's very lovely.  But you have your punctuation starting and stopping here and there.  Keep it consistant or drop it completely.  Unless that's the way it's supposed to be written?  Otherwise, easy to relate to.  Good work.

Welcome to Passions. I can relate to your words. I enjoyed the form and presentation of this piece but you need to take another look at your capitalization and punctuation. Otherwise a well written piece.

First of all, welcome to Passions!  

Next, I loved your poem-
It describes how I feel so often,
and it does it so well.
I look forward to seeing more from you,
hopefully soon.

Great poem! it's easily to relate to because some times we all feel misunderstood in our day to day lives. Welcome to Passions and I look forward to reading more of your work!
