I hate them
For solidifying my invisibility
Creating an open barrier of despair upon my life
The ignorance
The shame
Why can't I be accepted
Never happy
Comments that never lighten my heart
No remorse to such a creature as me
Life never rests but continually throws the worst at me
Never understood
Never welcomed
The pain silently killing
No relief
Just blood tears
Life never waits
Sun never shines
Hearts never warm
Figures hold as stone against me
Never accepted
Always misunderstood
Always invisible

Feels like high school all over again! lol demo I think its pretty great how you captured the essence of despair. I want to say you shouldn't see yourself as invisible but rather indestructible! I think at one time or another your poem is what everyone has experienced at some point in their life. Nice job I'd like to read more :)

These first two lines are brilliant =] I love it. I love the idea of invisibility being solidified, and in the next line this becomes even better, like a solid barrier between you and everyone else. I can really sympathise with this feeling, you put it across very well.

The ignorance
The shame
Why can't I be accepted
Never happy
These short lines are a bit less effective I think... they seem a little bit random, ignorance and shame... they're so different, it would be nicer if you kind of made it easier to understand these feelings, rather than just throwing the words out there. You need a question mark after accepted =]

I like the little rhyming bit here, even if it was unintentional it sounds quite nice when I read it in my head. I'm not sure about these comments though, what comments?

Never understood
Never welcomed
The pain silently killing
From this point on you just have a lot of very short lines. I think you should lengthen them a bit, add some more feelings and information.
The pain silently killing what?


No relief
Just blood tears
Life never waits
Sun never shines
I'm quite confused by this. Blood tears is quite a cliched line, this poem is far from a self-pitying emo poem, but this line sounds a bit like that. Life never waits for what?

Hearts never warm
Figures hold as stone against me
Never accepted
Always misunderstood
Always invisible
Do you mean "cold as stone?" I like the repetition of "always" in the last few lines =]

This is a good poem =D keep writing, you get your feelings across very nicely.
