Unknown

Why do i feel like i am unwanted
i give what i can and i take only what is given.
i help out as much as i can
i receive the help that is what is felt to be given.

I feel like there is no one there to help,
I know they ask what is wrong.
The times i do finally say what it is
they turn away or have other things to do.

I sit alone in a room listening to the quiet,
I am told it is what i need.
But in all reality it is not
My mind has many thoughts that run through each day.

It doesn't seem like much but it is
my mind has been telling me different things
But it goes so fast i cannot hear
To where i stare out in a blank stare.

Some of the things i am able to hear,
Some are bad some are good.
Some even help me to write in down in words.
I write these poems on a whim.

Nothing to help or guide me through it just my thoughts,
But it is weird cause i don't know what word is next
I don't even read what i write till it is complete
I write freely and not using any guides just myself

I may not been doing this for very long but i know it feels right
