My Corner

I sit in a corner,

it feels like my only home,

not wanted anywhere,

at school i just sit,

ignoring the names,

tryin to forget the looks,

at my house,

i try to avoid the fights,

i'm unwanted company,

everywhere i go,

the hurt,

cant be said,

the tears,

cant be seen,

my only form of release,

is self injury,

i cut my wrists,

burn my skin,

scratch at every little mistake iv made,

alone in my corner,

the only place that feels like home.

It is very true, lonely feelings, we all have from time to time,but the only thing is, you put that on piece of paper and have told us all how little and invisible we are ,and at the same time how noticeable from people similar to us,we actually are,Thank you so much for your poem,I simply love it,kip up good work,ivy
