That Feeling

It's that feeling

The feeling that you don't belong

That everybody looks down on you

That they'll be happy you're gone

The feeling of loneliness around "friends"

Like they aren't really your "friends"

The people who you are supposed to trust

Who you are supposed to tell your problems

Instead of raving on notebook paper

The feeling of hatred, towards yourself

Hatred of wasting space

Of taking oxygen from those who deserve more

The feeling of worthlessness

of being nothing

The feeling of being scared of being yourself

of being afraid of what others might think

afraid to show your tears

to show your anger

The feeling of patience

Of waiting for your "friends" to leave you alone

So you can write another poem to keep yourself from crying

The feeling I get everyday

Author's Note

My "friend" Sums sums said it was good
My "friend" Em wanted to cry
what do you think?

I clicked this poem first because the title really jumped out to me and had me wondering. Even though I hadn't known which feeling you were referring to, I felt like I was going to be able to relate and I did. I've known that feeling too many times in my life, and I still experience it so often for long periods of time.
This is very well written, and I love how it comes off so natural (with nothing forced whatsoever).

In hindsight, it feels like I sub-consciously knew (perhaps intuition) all along what "That Feeling" was going to be when I clicked this piece. It was definitely very sad to read, yet beautiful at the same because you were courageous enough to write about it. For every reader whom has ever experienced this, it's very interesting to see it from a different perspective. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed how you brilliantly expressed exactly how it feels. Well done.

AWWWWWWWWW *hugs you*
This poem was really good, but terribly sad. I could relate to it very much, though :/.
The stanza:
" The feeling of loneliness around "friends"
Like they aren't really your "friends" ",
was best in my opinion.
Brilliant write! Keep writing (:
