Unloved

I am surrounded by total darkness
I hide in the shadows
Afraid of the deadly silence

I am vulnerable and weak
I am alone in this cruel world
Facing anger, violence, hate and fear

When I cry no one hears
No one wants to hear
No one cares

My cuts will heal
But emotionally I am damaged
My life is a living hell

I want to break free
I pray for a better life
But it is impossible, I am nothing

I do not deserve anything
I am the scum of the earth
I know this, everyone has told me

My loneliness is killing me
I long for somebody, anybody, a friend
I am unloved

A very beautiful written poem, you certainly need someone in your life to improve it, but remember the world is very cruel, they try to crush you, humilate you, so always try to be brave in front of them never show any sign of weakness, actually i prefer crying alone so that no body knows it, I don t want peoples to know that I cry, but I truly wish from heart that you find someone who ll totally change your life however I m new and wanted you to read my poems and tell me how you feel about them
