I love this, it reminds me of myself a few years ago, I am finally at the at place that I view that as my past. I know that one day you will read this poem and it will remind you of who you used to be.

I can certainly feel your pain and frustration in every word.But apart from that you've shown a sign of one who is not weak and are able to overcome and move on.
A sad yet beautiful and straight to the point write.
An enjoyable read.
Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem.

Good work hun. I love the emotions here. very deep. I can relate. Keep it up. Shanik

Really sad poem, the worst part about it is that it's probably true. I liked the poem, it was one that a lot of people can relate to and it something that you should always look for when you are writing, because if you can't keep the reader wanting more than it's useless.

I really liked the poem but at times it suffered from flow issues as well.

I gave it a five because I felt that structure aside the poem really was an embodyment of what poetry should be. It's a wonderful write and a great read.

Thank you very much for sharing it with us.

I can't stand this life
I can't take the pain
every time i turn around
new feelings i cant help but gain

** The opening lines are good but the last line was very out of place. I think you were too worried about the rhyme scheme where you should have focused on the content. I also thought the "every time I turn around" was generic, overused by many poets. Maybe find a similar expression that's not so "day to day" like "With every blink of my eyes" or "With every fallen footstep". It expresses your emotions in a more unique way without losing the meaning.

no one understands
how my life used to be
and that's what makes it difficult
to understand the real me

** Nothing to comment on here. This was straight forward and well written.

i get used all the time
by people i call my friends
and i cant help but feel
their friendship is pretend

** Another good stanza, but its losing my attention. You could use a good power word here to grab a hold of the reader again. "I get used constantly, buy friends that aren't my friends, Pondering if we are good friends, or if the relationship is just pretend". I have two small kids at home and when I gripe to my wife about something that they do over and over and over again, I put a HUGE emphasis on the word CONSTANTLY. I imagine the same emphasis here. Again, a few power words add a ton of meaning. I did like the FRIEND / PRETEND rhyme, very unique.

i get stabbed in the back
for helping at the time
i get taken for granted
well its time to draw the line

** Again the battered woman image popped in my head when i read the last line. Like someone that is finally making a stand. Good job.

I'm tired of being called
when it's convenient for them
i get nothing in return
who do you think i am

** A good stanza, but I think the meaning is starting to run thin. I understand that your abused by your so called friends, and I am starting to loose interest again. This would be a good place to shift the poem in a new direction. Maybe you could keep with the previous line and start making your stand against them here.

i can be your best friend
or your worst enemy
either way
I'll find the remedy

* A good couple of lines, I didn't like that the third line was so short, but it works.

i know i cant be perfect
and i really don't try
but it's hard to live this life
so I'll watch it pass by

** What a great ending. I love the self-realization of being HUMAN in the first line followed by the spiteful attitude in the last line.

** Overall, the poem is well written. The flow is a little off in places, and I still think you would benefit from punctuation and spacing the stanza apart, but to each their own. I really liked the cause and effect flow hidden inside the poem. If you read it from top to bottom several times, you can see that you notice the issue and it causes you to pull away from everyone.

Good job.
