Why Always Me?

Why am I the one that trips,

The one that spills,

The one that falls,

Why Always Me?

Why am I the one that stutters,

The one with no laughs,

The one with no style,

Why Always Me?

Why am I out of balance,

The one without karma,

The one without…wait...she looked back at me.

And she smiled.

Today is a good day.

This hit close to home...

I too feel like I'm always the one that messes up somehow, takes the fall for others, like I'm just a stepping stone for others.

The ending was adorable, as truthfully, a small act of love or kindness, no matter how suddle, can always brighten someones day.

All in all a good poem, short and to the point, abstract and cute.

Keep up the good work :)

hey this is miley here writing a review ( that may help you )
to begin with it, the poem is short and sweet. and also very simply said.

but buddy there are few things that got really off the track -

firstly, was the ending. i could'nt understand it. which made really troubled ending the poem. i mean there should have been a proper ending for it just like a conclusion or a new start. this would have given the readers a nice thought.

secondly how has this romantic tone. its self analysis. i couldnt get that link either.

rest is its good, i know how hard its to write on the simplest of things. so no grudges. keep it up!

and just as i say -

keep dreaming! keep writing!

Hello..
I love how cute the simple poem of yours absolutely depict simple matters.
Nohing more serious about it just chillin' yet a little meaninful.
Its an enlightening short read and a bit appreciative about ones achievements and non-achievements in life.
Its facile and very friendly.
The way you write that piece is somehow may be in the form ofmodernity.
The poems contents are approachable and delightful.
Nothing heavy and nothing to stress about.
Very simple and cute.
Hope you still continue in doing stuffs like this can alter immediately ones moods from busy to simply cheerful.
I love it.
So cute.

Hey there. I'll be writing you a short review.
So, first, I don't think writing "Why Always Me?" in the poem, wherein the first letters in every word is capital, is correct because it is a sentence so it should be in sentence case. But if you really want to emphasize that sentence, it can also be in uppercase.
Next, don't capitalize, "trips", as seen in the first line. And you forgot to put question marks where it should be.
You know what, your poem is really special. It depicts reality in a way that you are portraying one's insecurities and flaws and how he hates the fact that it seemed like he is worse than other people are. So judging yourself without actually knowing what others think of you was really what comes out of this and in the end, you showed that those qualities weren't hindrances to an individual.
I really like the line where the girl smiled back. That soundes really nice and sweet. :)
Kudos! Great job and keep writing! :)

I love how a simple thing like that can brighten up a day, haha. Happens to me all the time.

This was a very sweet piece. Simple but effective. I like how it started off in a pattern and then it just all fell apart when she looked around. Like a train of thought that just suddenly completely collapsed in on itself.

This made me smile. It's funny because it's so true.

It was a lovely quick read :)

Oh, and 'trips' doesn't need to be capitalised.
