Emo For No Emotions? Or For Emotions?

The emotions that i feel inside
are like nothing that i've had when i'm alive
Most of the time i hide myself in darkness
and I feel as if i drown in coldness

The days surpass me like never before
with joy and happiness knocking at my door

I ignore them and go on 
i go on as if there's nothing wrong
I am in the dark with no sense of feeling
trying to not lie to those around me

They ask if they can help in any way
I say that i am fine
When actually i have millions of things inside my mind

They say emotions are just things people feel
when actully it can also be actions

Teens cut themselves and claim they are emos
when they really have more friends than foes
Can emo be for emotional for those who can't understand
what they hold dear to them everyday "hand-in-hand"?

Times can be rough
but that doesn't mean that you can act all tough

What does emo mean to you?
can you not see those who love you and me?
No emotions or emotions,
you can't pick both,
you see?

Don't try to be who yu want to be 
just be yourself
And that applies to you and me

Nice! I love this. And FYI "emo" just stands for emotional. we have just twisted it. and also "Emo" and "cutters" are soooo different. Cutters need serious help. Some "emos" do cut but sometimes they are very happy people but they feel like they have to hide. So I agree we need to be friends cause really "emos" are very happy people and freakin hilarious!!! Trust me I have tonz of "emo" friends!

this is a nice poem i wasnt sure what it was about whe i read the title but i was not dissapointed i have read a couple of your works and i enjoyed them i like the poetry that is a little on the darker side (like some of mine) because most the people on here are completely overly happy, which is good but every now and then i like a piece of reality like this! good write! =)jo
