Please Listen by Shan

You never listen to what I'm trying to say.
So I'm putting it in a poem and try it this way.
I still don't think that this will work,
but if you can't hear me THIS time, I think you're a jerk.
My heart is torn up, bruised, battered and abused.
I ache all the time and my hole body feels used.
I used to have a shell, that I could hide in.
I could pretend like everything was ok outside the skin.
I kept getting older and the inside just grew.
It's so bad now that I don't know what I'm going to do.
Have you ever felt like you just don't belong?
Or everything you do just seems to be wrong?
Have you ever stayed in bed for five days straight,
and thought if you got up that you'd be someones bait?
Ever been so scared that you can't move a thing?
Not your mind, your body. You just sit there sobbing?
Or how about not eating for almost eight days
Or staying inside cuz you think your scared of sun rays.
Every friend I had just seemed to stray.
Believe me sweety, they weren't pushed away.
I don't like to be alone, actually it's what I hate most
But if it makes people happy to hate me, then hell, I'll make the toast
Ever seriously thought about just why the world is here?
Or if aliens exhist and will, one day take me out there.
I'm scared of the wold for no apparent reason
I really am, hell no I'm not teasin.
You should know this only becuase
I want you to know exactly what you have caused.
So now that its been said for the millionth time,
In person, a note and now even a rhyme,
Can you take a while or even a minute
> And look at this rhyme and SEE what's in it?
You know what you've done, and the things you should.
I'd help you, But I'm too hurt, I just don't think I could.

Superb Poem
I absolutely adore this poem, I think every single word of it is the truth of every single person's feelings after the loss ofsomeone we care so much about. I love the bluntness of it, the plain in-your-face attitude that comes through your writing. And I also know how it feels.
