Open Ears

You talk freely

With words unspoken

I'm not who I used to be

You words seem to drag me

They always linger in my mind

and taunt me because I know them

Indeed I know them all to well

Stupid ! Liar ! Failure !

These words follow me

Everywhere I go

There is no escape

Everywhere I am I hear

Lazy ! Crazy! Loner !

GET OUT OF MY HEAD !

I'm more than what you see

One day I'll will prove to the world

Your all wrong, You don’t know me

There is more to me than living

I just haven't found my place yet

because I listen with open ears

Of your taunting words

Telling me I don’t belong

Hey there! I like the way you approached this poem.
I like the title Open Ears.
You might want to pay closer attention to typos. Maybe type in a word document and then cut and paste here.
Also, punctuation wouldn't take away from the piece.
A read really, keep writing



Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
