Frustrated

I feel like I'm a doormat and people enjoy wiping their feet on me. I feel like the world is attacking me from all sides. It seems as if no one really wants to hear what I have to say, as if I am to be silenced no matter what. I never should have opened my mouth and told anyone about my stepbrother doing what he did; they don't understand. It's as if I'm in a world where its all about them, never about me, and I'm scared. I'm scared that I'll be left behind, forgotten, and I don't want that. I don't know what I want anymore. I'm not even sure I ever did.

Author's Note

My annoying social worker gave me a journal. I guess she thought it would "cheer me up". This is what I wrote as my first entry.

No one is ever truly alone - there's far too many people in this world for anyone to feel alone and that no one will listen. there's always someone out there to lend you an ear, to listen to your story with an open mind. I do hope you find yourself again.True, there are people who only care for themselves, but there are others who truly do care. You just need to find them.

wow this is a really good poem. I understand where your coming from.

There are times when I feel exactly the same way. Actually, I think every teen does. Even though it's more straightforward than some of your other poems I still think it's beautifully written and has a lot of emotion behind it.

I've wrote this before in a journal. I understand your feeling.

There's a lot of raw emotion behind this. Someone is listening. Never lose your faith in people. In a population of six billion, there has to be some decency.
