They say I'm getting better
I say it is all an act
They say if I tried harder
I say I've given all I've got
They say I'm to screwd up
I say it wasn't a choice
They say they know me better
I say they don't know diddily
They say if I talked more
I say i have no voice
They say if I stopped fighting
I say that's what is keeping me alive
They say I dont know anything
I say it's all a lie
They say I cant handel it
I say they didn't give me a chance
They say that I am special
I say I'm worthless
They say I have everyone
I say I'm alone
They say i'm a lie
I say I'm the truth
They say...
I say...
...someone has to pay
And I say that someone is me

like have said to so many writers on this site, it needs depth and imagery. this is too bland for me. i don't even have to think about what i am reading. the message jumps right out. *sigh* you need to develop into a writer who uses imagery, metaphors, rhyming (not forced though, keep it subtle), and rhythm. this poem is the same as any other on here. i apologize if i sound harsh, but the level of poetry is low. i want it to get better.I wish for you to get better

I do like this, but I would avoid using that much repetition. It doesn't work well in a poem which deals with such a subject. Somehow it took away the emotion - instead of making the poem work, the repetition just worked against it. Try another way of writing it. Like young_blood said... use some more different methods. Good luck writing in the future!

Oh, and one last thing - try to cheer up

write what you feel  
feel what you write
you do it quite well
you cant change how you feel nor should you change the way you write it

Okay this was an excellent piece. Trust me I've been in this situation. Not the exact one but pretty close. You have expressed your self well. This poem to me was not about structure or rhythm but about emotions.

Very Well Expressed.

hey young blood, maybe you are more suited for the role of an english teacher instead of a professional poet, which you so arrogantly would portray...
poetry is art , and art is expression...
express yourself!

thanks everyone. my poetry might be stopping as i have just gotten some bad news and can not think enough to write much. so please dont dispair if i go away again. i will be back.

As I look at this world and realize that I am the only one to have seen the end of all Good I let the tears out that and ask the world to see them.
