I Am A Human, Just Like You.

Somebody help me please,

I have nobody on my side.
I need your love, I need your warmth,

I just need somebody on my side.

Somebody just look at me please,

Make me feel like I am of worth.

I need your care, I need your support,

Make me feel like I am of worth.

Somebody please, hear me out,

I need to feel I deserve to live.

Make me feel like I'm not alone,

I need to feel I deserve to live.

Somebody please, look out for me.

So I feel that I'm not ignored.

I need somebody to fight with me,

So I feel that I'm not ignored.

Somebody please, listen to my cries!
I am a human, nothing less.

I need help, I need love,

I am a human, nothing less.

I am a human, just like you.

I have my ways, you have yours.

I need comfort, I need love.

I have my ways, you have yours.

I am a human, 

Just like you.

I am a human, 

Nothing less.

[1Disawsum]

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

A really well thought out piece of writing.
The reaching out for recognition is something we can all relate to at some time.
Very well done.

[1Disawsum]

I understand this poem. Sometime we must change place and location. I changed my life 4 times completely. I joined war to escape bad places. Sometime we must seek friendly voices and words with people with same dreams and goals. You are human. You just need to find your place. A powerful poem. Made the reader feel the reason and the purpose for the poem. I believe internet, cell phone and people blinded by useless goals had changed our world. Sometime we must stop, smell the roses and find someone who want to talk.

Yes, we do. Change locations, to change your perspective, gives you a wider view of more than just the bubble you've been wrapped around and sometimes smothered by.
Yes, and I have written a poem about the negative span of technology. It has blinded us, enclosed us in a bubble of internet. We are constantly on the internet, when really, our life could become so much more than this. Peoples reality is the internet now. However, we mustn't forget the good, either. Yes, exactly! Sometimes, you just need to pause your life, sit down and contemplate on life and its direction.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree with your comment. We must contemplate life and what we need.

[Goat]

This is such a nice poem and it rings with truth. Sometimes it's easy to forget that the people around you are human too and need your compassion. Nice job, I loved this poem.

[1Disawsum]

Thank you, yes, this poem is exactly what I felt, and still feel. Nobody listens, you feel like it's you against the world and all your issues are only yours to carry alone. Yes, exactly. Thankyou!

[Goat]

Yes but always remember that there is always someone trying to help you carry the burden of life, though you may not notice them. A parent or a friend, remember to thank them or else you may lose them and have carry that burden alone.

[1Disawsum]

Yes, although in my case, I have no friends and my biological parents are.. well, let's say out of the picture for the rest of my life! But I do have my foster dad/counsellor aha awkward... yes, but it's hard to talk to my dad (who's also my counsellor) because of his jobs, my science teacher AND counsellor. It's too hard.

[Goat]

Well then remember to thank your foster dad! Even if he's not helping that much at least he's trying!

[1Disawsum]

aha very true. You sound extremely optimistic, just like I was when I was tiny. Lovely to hear the cheerfulness again! :)

[Addy]

I love it. Such a strong plea. I think just about everyone can relate to this poem at some point in there lives. IK i can. Humans have a nasty habit of being very picky about who they choose to be kind to and it's awful. I love the way this was written. Written TO the people it's about and not just about them. Very good.

[1Disawsum]

Yes, everyone can relate. Nobody can say they have never thought of angst thoughts, can they? It's just a part of being a human. You have to feel so low and down in the pits in order for you to get up stronger than before, and shining brighter than you've ever been before.
Yes, it is awful. Some humans can't help themselves, can they? Well, that's an excuse, anyway. Change yourself. Realise your mistakes, and change. Easier said than done, like everything, but never going to be impossible. Thankyou!!!

[Purbleazaleya]

This is so real, everybody can relate to this at some point of their lives. We all need companionship and support of others, that's what form the basis of society. At times, we lack of friends and family and we miss them so suddenly that we notice the importance of the people in our lives and how much we need them.

[1Disawsum]

Yes, everybody can, we will all feel so low by what somebody said, by what had happened, that we will be able to relate. Yes, and it's so true! Friendships support us, because you value them for answers and for your friends to speak the truth, when your family and relative won't, or are too scared to tell you the honest truth.
Yes, we always take others for granted, and it's only until we don't have them anymore, we realise how much of our heart that they've taken up, and have now created a big hole in our hearts that is yet to be refilled. If ever.
Thankyou for your support and comment xx

Wow, this piece really spoke to me! This really describes the point I am in my life currently. I rarely talk to my friends everyday, my parents nag on me all the time for the same s**t, my sisters away out of state for graduate school for a whole year so I really have no one to conversate with or feel comfortable around. I'm left with myself, my thoughts. My books and animals have become my only dependable friends. I wish for an escape every day...but nothing seems to change.

[1Disawsum]

Yes, I've never had friends, nor family to talk to and help support me through my phases in life. That's really why I'm on here. I thought I loved writing stories, and I did, but now I love writing poems even more, because in those few sentences, you can get so much off your heart, and there is just so much more meaning held deep within.
Yes, writing is my only constant, my only friend and supporter. It always has been, and same here, everyday, I wish something would change. But so far, no luck. I wish you all the best, and I hope we'll be talking a lot more! :)

[I Am Svetlana]

I look forward to talking with you much more :) you have so much heart and so much to say. Someone should be here to listen, so I guess that'll be me! And I always thought you had to write a novel for whenever you wanted to tell a story, so it was difficult for me to get used to writing only a few lines for a poem and my stories, well...they always ended up being novel long anyway, so I stopped those when I was young. After middle school, I mainly focused on poetry and getting better at it. I soon developed my voice and style, recently got into short stories last semester when our creative writing class was in our short story unit and my teacher and class actually loved what I wrote. I was afraid they wouldn't like it or that it wouldn't be very good, but I got a perfect score on it and passed the class with a 99%!

[1Disawsum]

aaw thanks! :) You don't have to, writing was always my therapist, because I'm just that bad at having a face-to-face conversation aha That's great to hear! Did you put your writing up on here, if you don't mind me asking? OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!! Genius :D ahaha
I feel that writing just a few sentences help me more than writing a story ever could, just because I am not very patient and good at keeping on track with my brain when it comes to story ideas aha poems are short, quick, and can still relieve some stress. The perfect combination for me! And my never-ending brain ideas... :/

[I Am Svetlana]

Yeah, I put some of my dark poems on here. They're all scattered and mixed in though, so I'm pretty sure you'd have to do some digging if you want to find the personal ones about me. Though, all my writing is true. The emotions are. They like to switch on me every now and then, I'm happy then one thing can make me come crashing down into a depression that'll last for who knows how long.

[1Disawsum]

That's good, nothing worse than fake poems, poems just made to get attention. It's just like mocking those people who make true poems. It's not fair, but is it ever? That's what I always ask myself when I think things aren't fair on one side as opposed to the other. Has life ever been fair? No, I personally don't think so.
You're too sweet to go into depression! But then again, it's the best people that the worst things happen to, isn't it? All I can say is, don't be afraid to talk to people, or just write. As you said, writing is very therapeutic.

[I Am Svetlana]

You know, I am reall beginning to admire and like you...like a lot. It's hard to explain, but I feel you're different than most girls your age. At least you know what you're talking about and understand how to help yourself through your hard times. You're a wonderful girl and who needs friends when you have books and paper, right? I try to write whenever I can or whenever I get inspired. I have plenty of journals I filled with poems and two binders nearly full with poems and stories. And songs also, but I only just wrote lyrics, haven't added any compositions yet.
