Loneliness has broken me.
Every day I dig myself deeper,
and I look up and I wonder why,
I wonder why I see such a faraway sky.
Some day now, the walls will collapse.
I'll buried down here with my thoughts.
***
I don't know how to talk,
I don't know how to be a friend.
I've gone so long without it now,
that I've forgotten how to handle happiness.
My every minor victory,
leaves a taste so bittersweet.
***
I'm sorry for wanting more,
I'm sorry being unhappy with this much.
I'm broken and I don't know who can fix me.
I'm a moth attracted to the light,
I'll fly into it until I die.
***
This is my cry for help,
my fake happiness is gone.
To think I almost tricked myself,
tricked myself into thinking I was good.
I almost let myself dream again.
***
I'm sorry for the emptiness I cannot fill.
I'm sorry for being such a failure.
Please believe me when I say I try.
but I'm losing sight of the reason why.
it seems every summit I reach was just a hill,
and the mountain stands before me once more.
***
I'm broken, my pieces have been scattered,
kicked about by the well meaning crowd.
I can't put myself back together,
I don't even know if I want to.
I don't think I would ever be the same.
***
I'm sorry for being so awkward.
I don't know how to be social.
I lose myself in my stories.
I bury myself in the fiction.
I'm through with hoping.
***
I'm sorry if I hurt you,
I've forgotten how to be kind.
It's all an act,
I'm a nothing trying to be something.
I feel every compliment is a kind lie,
and every insult is an undeniable truth.
*
This isn't a cry for attention.
This is a confession.
A distress beacon.
A plea for help,
I need fixing.

I am here to review your really looooooong poem.
Its depressing, sad but too realistic. I can feel it as I myself can relate to it . The very first stanza is so true so touchy..
The feelings you carved in this penning are indescribable. And the way you end it is really so true when a person really needs someone.
Keep writing .. loved your penning.
Blessings !

"I don't know how to talk,
I don't know how to be a friend.
I've gone so long without it now,
that I've forgotten how to handle happiness.
My every minor victory,

i also like the way you ended the poem, by telling you are not writing this fr attention but because you seriously need someone.
overall it was a good poem and i loved it.
great job!keep on writing!

I really liked this poem, your word choice really helped to convey your message and the feelings within in without using a lot of words. It really made poem simple, yet complex in the emotions. I enjoyed the ending because it gave the whole thing a nice strong closing, wrapping it all together.
