Everyone Thinks

Everyone thinks I am perfect, everyone thinks I am cute;

But really I am not, it's really not even true.

I am not cute and I am definitely not perfect;

It so happens that I am the opposite of it.

I am something everyone fails to see.

I can do things,

I can handle things,

Better than he or she.

I can handle so many things others can't.

Why? (Of course, it hurts)

Because I get disappointment from every direction;

From friends, family, loved ones and the worst:

People I care about so much,

Who have my affection.

I get lied to by everyone,

They don't think I can handle bad news.

But I really I can,

I can probably handle anything - it's true.

My friends don't believe in me as much as I would like;

My family won't talk to me about my real life;

My loved ones don't notice a lot of things in my life.

Another thing is -

When Family turns on you,

When my family is at the dinner table,

And I am right there,

They don't talk to me;

They talk to everyone but me.

Sometimes I just want to go away, far away.

I want to go visit my BEST FRIEND at her grave.

No one knows about this because, you see --

Well they won't believe me.

No one does,

No one will believe.

They don't believe I could ever be sad;

They don't believe I would ever be mad.

I love them all but they see --

They see the special things in me,

But not how I would love them to see.

This reminds me a lot of my family. They don't ask me about the things I'm really interested in doing, or the things that really go on inside my head. I'm very far from the family I once knew, figuratively and literally. One of my favorite artist has this line, "I hold my issues up for all to see like show-n-tell. A lot of people know me, but they don't know me well." That line speaks to me in this poem. It's pretty fitting. Above all, this is an excellent read, very well written and a lot of emotion that calls out from this poem. That's what makes it so good!

Lovely write. Definitely could relate to this personally and understand your words..no one really understands or loves one because most of the time they never stop to know or understand us..I understand the whole family lines well enough.

I feel like people do that a lot, my family tells what a good job I did but forget to mention the bad job, yhis was a good read, made me think

Usually I back away from a "poor me" story but I'm drawn to yours becuz it really tells the story of my life. I try so hard to stay away from a "poor me" point of view that I have never acknowledged any of the things you describe. Other people routinely fall apart, but when I'm spending 2 years trying to walk again, they say: "you've always been so strong, you'll get there!" And never hearing from them again, of course. It would be tempting to think you're exaggerating here, had it not happened to me! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Always remember, never drive faster than your Guardian Angel can fly!
If no one loves you, it is they who are without love, not you!

[Teresa]

Aw 😂 Thank you :))) God bless you :)

[sette]

it is a very sad poem but clearly expressed, the pain of being unloved and unwanted makes a big hole in one's heart.
