*You Were Never Here*

I've carried this weight,
All on my own
You were never here,
I was always alone.

Depite your harsh words,
I'm gonna make it through,
I don't need any help,
Especially not from you.

All those nights I cried to you
And you never looked my way,
But now you want to listen
While you're begging me to stay.

Now you want to be here,
When you never were before,
I've dealt with you for way to long,
And I don't have the strenght to anymore.

If you live to be 100 years old, I want to live to be 101 so I never have to live a day without you.

britt, this is a really strong and forceful poem and I liked it.  I can relate to it really well, and I could also relate to your suicide poem.  Well, byes!

Well done. I liked how you wrote this. You seem to be very true in your poetry. You don't beat around the bush with your emotions. I like that....Very well done.

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

After reading Javier's reply, I got more out of this.  Thanks, Javi!  
This really DID have all the emotions at the surface, I like that.  A piece of advice I recieved here when I came was to just attempt to bury the message a little bit, hide it behind metaphors and make the reader think a little more.  
This poem doesn't do that, but it really doesn't have to.  It's fine the way it is.  
Still, I think you should try that.
