You Dont Know

Contributed by willow_tara72002 on Monday, 16th August 2004 @ 10:58:17 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

When you say those things to me
I feel deep shame
ABout the way i look and dress
About who i am, what i am
All my self hated reappears
And comes with all these tears
You make me want to die, so i cut

I cant be perfect, thats what you want
For me to get straight A's, To be popular
And like guys

You dont know me
You dont know what people do and say to me

Why cant you be understanding
And forget your selfish thoughts
You dont know the loneliness, fear and depression
Ive been hurting so long to keep this is a secret
You dont know the self hate and shame
That im disgusting and a failure
You dont know what its like to be me

I need a mothers love and acceptance
And i was left hurting and wanting to die
From all the times everynight i would cry
You dont know what he did to me
The way he hit me and kicks me
And throws me to the ground
And beats me with his words

You dont know how much i longed for one friend
Just someone to understand, someone to talk to
Cause i cant be around of talk to you

You do know how depressed a became
And that i tried to kill myself over it
ANd still I get no acceptance or understanding
Just your hate
Now suicide Im again starting to debate
It will be my fate
No one can save me now, Its to late,.....

I felt the 'externalization' of the blame and the 'internalization' of the feeling through this poem. This poem communicates well a painful reaction to an onslaught of verbal abuse.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
