About the Poem

I am 14 years old, in the 8th grade in a small school, about 300 students K-12. I have been having a rough time for the past seven months. I have been hanging around the wrong kind of crowd, which has not given me the best reputation.

This poem is about how I have a rough life and I am not treated very fairly. Every day is a battle for me, but I still take all the blame for the things that I do wrong.

Unhappiness

by Crystal

Some nights I stay up late and cry,
Other times I feel as if I could die!
In my life I feel not loved,
I always get kicked around or shoved.
But why should I be happy?
How can I be if I'm treated so crappy?
Every day seems like a battle.
I get thrown around like a baby's rattle.
Sometimes everything can be so scary.
Why can't I just be happy and merry?
For all my faults, I am to blame.
I am the one to take all the shame.

This poem sounds more like me. This is how i feel inside and i try to hide it a lot. I dont like to go places because of the way im treated everywhere. at home i hide in my room just so i dont have to even think about other people.

Farah

Your poem was touching. I'm sorry for what you have to go through.. I kinda know how you feel.. Don't stop writting

Jess

I understand this poem. it's not about not being loved, it's about not feeling loved. This girl knows she is loved, but no matter what she does, she just doesn't feel loved. Everything she does is rejected. not good enough. tossed to the side. she doesn't feel like she matters.

Brittany

hey, God can take care of that! You say: "Nobody really loves me." God says: "I love you." (John 3:16 and John 13:34) God loves you so much; I will be praying for you! God bless!

Griselda

mary

Your poem is so awesome.if u eva feel like crap again, email me n we can talk.16/f.

Mai.

This poem is just what my life is like! Isn't it strange that no matter where you are in the world there will always be someone thinking and feeling the same emotions as yourself. I have just been torn apart from a broken-heart, and have cried myself to sleep now for four weeks, life is definately hard and i can tell you now that it doesn't get any easier the older you get, it only brings along new love and new experiences.

Jean

Ash

It seems that we have many of the same views on things. but don't worry.. its not you! Its people around you who dwell on putting others down. One day they will see. one day they will understand all of us!
