All my fault

Those days when everyone blames you for almost everything but you feel like you did nothing wrong.

All my life I've been told:

"How could you do something like that?

Don't you care about how you look?

Don't you care about what others think?"

And with that, my confidence sinks.

It's always my fault.

My fault for being picked on.

My fault for being laughed at.

My fault for being misunderstood.

My fault for not speaking up

Regardless that I never could.

Now I feel all alone and

I have no one to protect me.

I thought I could trust on someone,

But even she is turning on me.

Suddenly, I'm in darkness

And there's no one to pull me out.

Even the one who supposed to be there

Left, and now I'm in doubt.

Can you really trust anyone?

Can you risk to let someone in?

Between a "try to help" and betrayal -

The line is so very thin.

Author's Note

Written in one of those depressive moods where everything feels out of place and it seems like the whole world is against you. Not my best work, I admit, but I appreciate if you take time to read it anyway. :)

I like the description and the questions raised in the poem. Good to be different. Too many people walking the same path with a dead end. I like the desire to find real people and friendship. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

I think it is very well done and you have expressed this feeling of being alone without anyone to turn to. It is such a sad feeling to look for that friendship and it is not there. Very nice.

Thank you very much, Jack!

I think a piece of emotion writing is always good :) It always makes me feel better after I've written it, and I think in this case the reader can really see and relate to the thought process you're going through. Nice descriptions and a good message behind this piece. I liked it!
