Not What It Seems

You believe i'm happy when you take a look at me But i'm in so much pain you see, Just take a glimps in my eye's and You will see My looks are not what they seem to be You believe I live a great life Don't lie, I heard your whispers and I seen your stares Just walk a mile in my shoes and You will see My life is not what it seems to be I heard you think I got it all Well you heard wrong My life is so incomplete Your the one with the dad, not me Your the one with the friends So tell me why you hate me when I'm not at all what I seem to be

Breana, While your life may be hard, your poetry is beautiful!! I've always believed we should not try to judge others. Have you read "Richard Cory" by E.A. Robinson? Everyone thought he had a great life too, that is, everyone except Richard himself. Nice writing style, Carolyn

Man, I read that one a few times, and you pretty much seemed to pen the words in my mind, on paper. I know it's hard, but it will get better, eventually. ~Jen~

Deep write Breana, you will find out later in life that haters are everywhere, at school, at work, in the stores, malls, everywhere, they hate you and they don't even know you, I learned to just ignore,don't give the satisfaction of responding... thoughtfully expressed..great poem, keep up the good work *Tyesha
