I've been a little lonely lately, so I vented by writing this. It's really not that great, but I hope you like it anyway.
................................................................................
If I went and died today
I don’t know what I'd do,
for not a single soul on Earth
can really see me through.
.
They do not know my aching soul
or how many miles its had to crawl.
And I don't want to leave this world
as if I’d never lived at all.
.
I like to think that I am special,
but there’s no one to agree.
And am I really anything
If no one knows but me?
.
I can pretend that God is watching
and that He sees how hard I try,
but still doubt seeps inside my soul
and says no love comes from the sky.
.
I’m just so afraid, so scared,
that I’ll always be alone,
and my once glowing heart
will dry to brittle bone.
.
I doubt myself so many days
and I’ll admit, it would be nice
for someone to let me know my worth
and bring comfort to my life.
.
But for now I live all on my own
and until a friend does come,
I can manage, I can deal
with help from not a single one.
.
For even with how much I want,
I still know what I can do.
I’m stronger than I realize
and faster than I ever knew.
.
So, my future friends,
take your time, I don’t care.
For while I wait for you to show
I’m strong enough to bear.
.
Just please, arrive someday
and remember ‘til the end
that even the strongest of the ox
could use at least one friend.
Hey I am here to review as you requested!
Ok this poem is beautiful and it holds meaning within it's words. If you need friends all you have to do is talk to people on here. I mean on a pretty average day there is at least 30 people on.
I like the way you rhymed on here. It was subtle but nice. Poetry is a way to express yourself through words and you did just that here. Great job!

Very nice, I could really feel the emotion in this, and I can definitely relate. I like the flow of the poem, it's almost lyrical, but there are a few changes I'd make:
The "see's" after God, should be "sees", as the apostrophe implies ownership or marks a contraction (i.e. see is).
There should be a period or comma after every line, it's mostly stylistic but it would help with overall flow of the poem.
Overall this is well written, and I immediately felt the tone of the poem, which is good.
And I do not want to leave this world
As if I’d never lived at all.
Hey MysteryMe!
First off I just want to say that this poem is beautiful. I absolutely loved reading every word of it and the words were so wonderfully strung together that I could feel your emotion as if I was right there with you when you wrote it. Well done!
Just a couple things that I would suggest changing, although they aren't necessary...
"I can pretend that God is watching
And that he see's how hard I try."
I would change "he" to "He" simply because you are talking about God in a religious context so it's properly written with a capital H! 
Not every line needs to start with capitalization, and I think that however wonderful this poem is, capitalizing the start of every line actually detracts from the poem. In my personal opinion I would just go back and add in the proper punctuation at the end of lines (if necessary) and fix that (but if you decide not to, that's fine...it's every author's choice!)
That's all, this poem was incredibly well-written and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Please don't stop writing!
Dragon here of course:D Well, let me start off with this: *BEARHUG* see that? That means your not alone, you have friends, certainly in me:D Now for the review, there were one or two things I noticed off, which I'll point out below:
should be If I died today.If I did die today
nitpick and side note, I think sees should be see's but that's just me.And that he sees how hard I try
should be To love 'till I die, just to make it flow nicer.To love me ‘till I fall and die?
I really love the choice of words here, but to give you an option, maybe take out shinning to make it flow nicer? I'm not too sure about this, just give it a good thought.And my once glowing, shining heart
I really liked this poem. It seemed very raw and had nice personal details. It had a lot of good details to be honest. I liked how the 2nd and 4th line of each stanza rhymed, but it would be even better if you could managed to do that with all of the 1st and 3rd lines as well. Although, it works fine as is. The flow of this was really nice too. Plus it kept the same kind of distraught emotion consistently through out the entire length. I hope your other stuff is as good as this
