Alone in my Head

If they could hear what’s in my head
I wonder what they’d say
To the multitude of voices
I hear everyday

Why can’t you be skinny, Damn it!?
Why are you so ugly?
You call those scars? You call those scars!?
Stop crying, wimp.
You don’t deserve anything.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Don’t
Eat
Damn it!

How can anyone love me?
When I’m so
Messed up?
Oh wait,
They don’t.

I wonder if I’d scare them
If I let them deep inside
But that will never happen
In darkness I reside.

I appreciate your honesty. This poem seems to be a true reflection of your raw emotions-- no fluff-- and that makes this a wonderful poem.

However, when you write about issues that may not be as personal, using the plethora of writing tools at your disposal will give your message much more meaning. I recommend that you begin by practicing writing a few poems with a consistent rhyming pattern or begin thinking of different ways to say the same thing.

Here's an example: "I love you" vs. "If I was the world, you'd be my gravity" or "They must hate me" vs. "I'm the target of their bullets".

Finding different methods of expression lightens the load of our stresses in life and can be therapeutic.

Never-the-less, I love the sincerity and integrity in your writing style.

Thank you for sharing!
