The Moon

I'm unhappy here Sitting, being told what to do, who to be I'm unhappy here Opinions shoved down my throat I'm unhappy here Forced to act loving towards people I hate Why is the moon so far away I'm unhappy here Sitting alone in my house filled with people I'm unhappy here Having to care, but not really there I'm unhappy here Spewing out lies, pretending I'm fine Why is the moon so far away I'm happy here Being myself I'm happy here Alone without people I'm happy here No one to impress Look, the world is so far away

I can relate to this poem at times.I abhore loneliness,but embrace the moments on my own,happy in my own solitude. Bet this poem describes someone whose with the wrong crowd and in the wrong place. Loved loved it.

I was raised in a very judging and emotionally abusive household. I wrote this poem while still living there, and have since moved out. Thank you for commenting

I can feel the sadness and angst in your poem... expressed emotively deeply..

Thank you for reading my poem and taking the time to comment. I am happy to say that I have moved out of that house, and am doing much better.
