I wish I knew where I was...

First off, I wanna thank Rachael for helping me w/ the title. This is my first post. I hope you like it!

Nobody knows who I am
Few understand my pain
Trust is something I cant seem to find
A perfect life is something I dont find real

Knowing that the truth
Will never be known
Living a lie, in a sense
Without lying, just leaving the past alone

Should I keep it bottled up inside
I know no one could handle it
I dont even want to think about my life
But Ive learned I have to deal with it

My life isnt what I wanted
But I guess nobodys can be
To hate myself my world
To forget what its like to be me

I hate living in lies and fake smiles
In crowds of people pretending to care
And I try not to cry, for the last thing I need
Is for fake people to say "Ill be there"

Many excellent points made in this poem. "The last thing I need is for fake people to say 'I'll be there.'"
This was magnificent.
I can say I'll be here, not to help but to read your poetry.
Welcome to Passions. Hope you have fun sharing, reading, learning and teaching with the rest of us.

Hey, I've been slow in reading lately and this is the first one I've read today! This is really very good! I'm not one for contructive critiques, so I'll just say don't let rules confine you (ahh poor poor Allan)! Anyway, welcome to another planet, keep posting!

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't.

I liked it. I thought it was pretty true, who would want the people who don't care to say they do? It's quite illogical to act like you give if you really don't.
Anyway, Welcome to Passions!
I hope you enjoy your stay here.



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
I admire it daily

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!
    

Good poem..lots of sadness though. I think if i sat and really thought about my life and all the people in it I could probably come up with something like this. But my motto is...Don't get caught up in the cons of life because the pros outweigh them  i dont know if that'll help but if you just think ab out all the good things, it'll keep your mind off everything going wrong..atleast for a little while   NEWHO..great poem, keep posting!!

All I'm gonna say is that all my poems are what I feel, and you have no clue who I am or what I am going through, so dont even go there. OK??

I have removed 2 replies which is definitely unacceptable here in PIP. We are here to only reply for motivation purposes or for helping to improve other poet's skills in writing(if Constructive Criticizm is encouraged by the writer).
