I take my anger out on everyone
Even on my closest friends
I'm starting to act antisocial
Cutting all ties and ends
I cry myself to sleep
Now just about every night
The littlest thing bothers me
And makes me want to fight
I can't remember the last time
That I was truly happy and not sad
But ****** gettin under my skin
Slowly driving me mad
I know I'll pick myself up
I just need a little time
See, somebody broke my trust
And to me, that's the worst crime
I'm tryin to keep my head up
Tryin to diss his name
I'll deal with him one day
It don't even matter whose to blame
I'm trying to keep my chin from quivering
And keep my spirits high
But I'm in the midsts of a depression
And it kinda makes me wanna die
It happened now it's done
And now I'm more informed
My sadness is from not listening
Though I had previously been warned
So I'm gonna wipe my tears
Stop frowning and smile
My past was full of clouds
But my future will shine a mile
I just need a little time
To mend my heart in so many ways
But eventually I'll get over it
And soon I'll see better dayz

Thank you rich and 1poet. Thanks for the love!!!!
mR aNOn,...Ok, I thank you for your critisim, however it may be hard to take. I wrote this poem when I was feeling the emotions..they just came out on paper and pen. No scheme to my madness, though I prefer the abab rhyme scheme. Yes, I have heard of free verse and yes, i do write free verse. But me being me, I don't feel it like I feel rhyme schemes sometimes , . I really don't feel that poetry should be studied at all(by the way, no i don't study poetry). Poetry is emotions Poetry is a flow. There's no science Know what I mean:grin: How can u study what someone is going thru when they have this pen and paper in their hands and they just let it OUT. Poetry is like tears without Klennex b/c after you write the poem, you feel as if you have just gotten everything off your chest. Perotry is a way to kill some one's soul...without picking up a gun. Words are powerful and au natural...THIS is what poetry is to me
