Scared Love
I'm scared
His arms are around me
My head on his chest
But I'm scared
These hugs feel wrong
As if every time will be the last
But yet I hope for more
But I don't trust
I'm afraid of being rejected
Afraid of being abandoned
I’m afraid I'll never find love
Afraid no one will ever care enough
I'm scared of losing him
But I know I will eventually
He will someday get tired of me
I know it will happen
Who would want me?
I’m just a nobody
Just a troublemaker
I walk into fights willingly
I will someday get hurt for it
I never know where to go
Never know how to stay out of drama
I never know what to say
I have no friends
Okay well maybe one or two
But most of them are fake
They act as though they are my friends
But I know that everyone will leave me
Eventually
No one wants to deal with me
No one could even keep up with my problems
Major anxiety
Psycho rage
Always irritable
Crazily depressed
So yeah, he probably is just acting
He probably doesn't care
He doesn't want me
He probably just wants to feel loved
He would probably take any girl
I'm not important
I have no meaning
I can't succeed in life
So why try?
Why don't I just give up?
I could stop doing my homework
I could just break up with him
It'd end all my doubts
I wouldn't have to worry anymore
All my stress would disappear
But what if he does care?
What if it's all in my head
I may be over reacting
But how does one know for sure?
So even tho I'm scared
I will stick by him
Until I get ditched
As I foresee soon occuring

The material for this poem is good. Potential, I see. However, try to work out on how you express your message. In a poem, you don't tell people what you feel. But you show them how you are feeling it. What was it like to be scared? You make comparison. You make unfamiliar familiar. Don't say that you are scared. Describe the feeling of being scared. I love this though. Hope to read more poems from you.
Uhhhh very good but it kind of sounds really morbid. I love writing in prose. Did you take inspiration for this? I like how its like you talking
What do you mean by "take inspiration for this?"
Ay there.
This won't be too long because there's not much poetry to review--and that's my damning criticism! What you have here is a list of sentiments that hasn't been fashioned into anything. Think of it as a blog post with line breaks. Consumable, publishable poetry takes these raw ingredients, as listed, and reforges them into a being of different shape. This means literary elements: narration, imagery, lyricism, evocation of thought or feeling, etc.
As it stands, your piece has none of these elements, and I'm loathe to call it a poem. Take this to a very large drawing board and consider scenes or images that would convey these feelings of mistrust and betrayal, of being hated and lonely, of feeling psycho (which I find insensitive, bee tee dubs), and actually give me, the reader, a reason to care about the grocery list you've given.
Find a conduit of your emotion. Put the emotion in. Fashion the conduit into an approachable shape. That's poetry.
Hope this helps,
Ty
