Emotionally

by Anthony   Oct 19, 2005


All they see is anger,
Their amusement means my pain.
Provoking my emotions
So theres only me to blame.

All I've ever wanted
Was someone by my side.
But no one took the time
To see the beauty thats inside.

My most familiar feeling
Is that of anxiety.
Waiting for respect
But it never comes to me.

Faked emotions seem so real,
but now I know the difference.
Fooled before but not again,
All it takes is small inference.

Smiling faces, half in shadow
The enigma of human behavior.
Liars and filth of different sizes
Pretending to be praising their "Savior"

They're lower than low and
I'm More sick than tired.
And I'm pushed, And I'm pushed
And They're playing with fire.

The pressures of life
Plus the pressures of home
With the stress of the school
I'm forced to roam.

On the outside I'm fine
i seem bigger than that
Emotionally, I am
Trapped like a rat...

    The whole poem was great except for the last stanza and expecially the last line of that one.

    "On the outside I'm fine
    i seem bigger than that
    Emotionally, I am
    Trapped like a rat... "

    Why don't you try something like:

    "On the outside I'm fine,
    My lips never frown.
    Emotionally, I am,
    On the verge of crumbling down."

    Or:

    "On the verge of falling down."

    Which ever you prefer.
