Depressed

I'm too stressed

but they say I'm depressed.

Everyone looks at me and stares.

No one even cares.

I want to get away from here.

Which way do I steer?

Why are people  cruel?

Good thing I'm almost out of school.

My words are jumbled.

My whole world has crumbled.

Writing helps me a lot, especially since I can't find the right words to say so I just write it out. Thanks BG for the comment and for the words.

In this poem, I can vividly draw a picture of the character showing deep emotions, certainly intense. This is nice indeed! :) If this is based on your personal story, I will say to you there are many people who really care, and much more, love. Thanks for sharing your poem! God bless.
