Figure Me Out

Lifepoems

Pick out the things,
that I can't seem to stand.
Stand in front of my mirror,
Try to pick them off by hand.
Whether my skin so bleak and red,
Or covered with tiny spots.
My eyes the color of darkness,
Or mistaken for big black dots.
Or my face and the way it's shaped,
or the color of my hair.
Neck to scrawny and hips to big.
I would change it without a dare.
Being too tall,
Or not tall enough.
These things I feel to confusing,
Perhaps they're too rough.
Maybe it's not my looks,
But the person I am inside.
I simply am a human,
what is there to hide?
Hypocritical and not good enough,
to ever understand myself.
Say the wrong things at wrong times,
this is not in good health.
I eat too much,
or I need to eat more.
The Feel of the need to lose it all,
Is impossible to ignore.
My clothing to dark,
Or way too wacky.
Can't I wear what I want,
without being called tacky?
I can't give advice,
good enough to rely on.
But when I need something,
the advice is far from gone.
I'm too emotional,
and get too depressed.
Things affect me too much,
letting go is far from best.
I've done some things,
Way out of hand.
It's something I can't take back,
and this I cannot stand.
I've lost so many people,
whove meant the world to me.
I'd give anything to have them back,
but this is what life seems to be.
I can't stand a lot of things,
I can't stand myself.
The cure to fix this feeling
cant be found on a bookshelf.
Don't take my hand,
and tell me things will be ok.
Runaway with me and help me out,
to find myself within this mess,
I know there is a way.
Runaway with me,
and help me through this mess.
I can't seem to find myself,
In this feeling mixed with stress.
What is it you even see,
That you claim to love so much?
What is I've done,
To change your life and such?
Why a person like me,
Of everyone to choose?
Why waste your time with me,
When I'm the one confused.
Not confused about you,
But confused about me.
How i have all these things,
With the person I'm claimed to be.
Help me out,
Figure out everything that makes me wrong.
Maybe once Ive figured it out,
It'll be enough to keep me strong.

First of all, Haley that was an awesome write. It really flowed well and kept me wanting to read more. Second of all, I am positive that you are not the only young lady in this world that feels that way about herself. How do I know this because I have a teenage daughter myself and I hear the very same things come out of her mouth when she is standing in front of the mirror. I will share this one with her. Keep your head up and hang in there young lady things will change over time. Oh by the way, I have been married over 22 yrs now and I have yet to figure out my wife, I stopped trying many years ago. But you know what, I would be totally lost without her. Take care and be good.

Great write! I can relate to almost every stanza. I feel that I do almost nothing right so I wondered so greatly of how he could ever want me so much when I don't even know what I want. And I finally counted on him and I guess he couldn't hanel it. I think it will work out for you though. Even if you don't think so, try it anyway. Even though it didn't work out for me, I would regret never trying. I could write pages and pages of poems like this about myself but it's not healthy to put yourself down so bad even though I am yet to understand that. So now go write a poem about every good thing about you and I bet it will be longer!
Amazing write though! And it really made me think, thanks for sharing!
