I Am Just a Problem

I am not sure what to think or
Feel anymore. 
Everyone keeps talking like
I am not in the room. 
Hiding the pain holding back
The tears. 

While they say. 
It's just an act.
She needs to snap out of it. 
She needs to get up and
Get on with it. 
She needs a push. 

I wish I was normal. 
I wish I didn't feel like this. 
I wish that I wasn't so
Broken. 

I wish I wasn't the embarrassment
They see me as. 
I wish the suffering in my head
Would stop. 
I wish they knew how feels to 
Be broken. 

None wants to be broken. 
None choose to be depressed. 
It's feelings you have no control over. 

I choose to be alone. 
Burying my pain in lines of poems. 
Crying where I can't be seen. 

depression. 
Is not an act you can stop. 
It's not a feeling you can control. 
It's a life long battle. 

To me. 
I am broken and trying hard to 
Be happy and get through 
The day. 

To everyone else. 
It just an act I am nothing more 
Than an attention seeker.

Chris Green October 17, 2018 at 4:36 PM That is sad and sometimes people can be so cruel. I am sure it is a case of them not understanding as opposed to just being mean or maybe I am wrong. Either way your poem is deep and filled with loneliness and sorrow. Nicely done Stephanie Warrillow October 18, 2018 at 10:39 AM Thanks for your feed back and what you said was right people the people I trusted where just mean and cruel I wrote this poem in the moment while listening to them talking about me
