Hope

Everyone tells me what I need to do,
Or what they think,
I'm starting to wonder if I should see a shrink,
I can't talk to anyone about how I really feel

Without tears just wanting to over spill,
Always trying to hold everything in a bunch,
Makes everything want to come out,
A little too much

That it's hard for me to say anything back,
Not having a lot of control keeping my feelings in,
Its always been something I lack,
And now it's happening more often

I don't even know what to do,
Everyone's telling me I'm not alone,
But I don't feel anyone real I can talk too,
No one there to help me cope,

Just starting to feel like I'm losing hope..

Good poem. It paints the picture of someone being bounced around in a cage held up to others expectations. I particularly like the question about if the subject should see a shrink.

Very nicely written. You did an excellent job with description in this poem:)

I perceive feelings of loneliness, desillusion and hopelessness but it is a really beautiful poem maybe because the best poems are written when we pass through bad moments.

It's the times --- when you feel there is no hope --- is when you hold on even tighter and the answers you seek unfold before you...yet I see you write for therapy...so in doing so there is your hope in a sense of peace of mind....I would edit this a bit for clarity and may I suggest:

Everyone tells me what I need to do,
Or what they think,
I'm starting to wonder if I should see a shrink,
I can't talk to anyone about how I really feel,
Without tears just wanting to over spill,
Always trying to hold everything in a whole bunch,
Makes everything want to come out all at once,
A little too much,
That it's hard for me to say anything back,
Not having a lot of control keeping my feelings in,
Its always been something I lack,
And now it's happening more often,
And I don't even know what to do,
Everyone's telling me I'm not alone,
But I don't feel like there's anyone I can really talk too,
No one there to help me cope,
Just starting to feel like I'm losing hope..

This is just an observation of your work...and a look at the verse from a different angle...it's only a suggestion --- so take it for what it's worth or not...

I understand, I feel that way sometimes and it sucks.. You want help but it seems that all the help in the world won't help..
