I do not walk down the same streets as you
My personality is not the same, nor the way in which I grew
Who are you? You walk streets, you sing songs, you get grades- fascinating
You cry and whimper and whine in failure as you live life simply surviving
Now let me tell you who I am, I believe emotions are not a mirage of the brain, but a furnace of my
heart
I live life trying hard to hide that on the inside, I’m falling apart
I am smiling, yes; some people say smiling depression comes with my disorder
And while I struggle to stay who I am, I wage wars in the darkest of corners.
While you see me as antisocial, all I am doing is protecting who my friends love
Cause my feelings are stumbling on each other and my heart is a burning stove
Feeling so empty, so unloved; and yet struggling to be who I am
And yet when I have grades way below, you’d act as if our friendship was a scam
But who the fuck are you?! Some person thinking her life is good grades and perfection?!
Have you seen the shocking sadness in the faces you first see as some ugly abomination?
I hope you die- no, actually; stay alive so we never meet in hell
Does pain gives you a hint? Does suicide ring a bell?
So many times I have wandered these grounds, almost daily
And yet it seems I’ll always fall into your “loser” category
You ask who is Ally, I’ll tell you who she is, alright
She is the only one so far who cares who I cry upon at night
A soulmate, if your prefer. Closer to me than people I’ve known forever
She told me I was a legend, when an old friendship said I was but advice giver
I’ve never seen her face, and who cares; she’ll never get to see my pain
She’ll never have the chance you had to see my habit of weeping in the rain.
You’ve known me, walked with me jested, talked and laughed with me
And yet whenever you’ll feel the urge, you’ll just leave me crippled and then flee
I’m not even sure if I love you. Some of my personalities do, some don’t
Some would rather stick a knife in your guts each day per month
I’ve always wondered about the touch of death, slick hands, or icy cold fingers
Do you know, person-who-lives-on-numbers, how much time this thought I have endured
But no you don’t. You can’t, you won’t. There’s only you all around, and you’re stuck in your
mirror
You know why no one will see you as their bestie? That’s because you’re plastic, and grades is
all you hear
It’s said the music you listen to is what shapes your vision of life. Then I wonder what kind of
garbage, you must be listening to
I talk of life.. do you even have one? You pathetic incest of hate overdue
What can I say else you’re rotten on the inside and my admiration is all but higher
Except that your words can’t hurt me anymore, since I have the one you made me repress so much;
and you’ve got your fucking mirror.

Hello ! This poem IS a legend ,Silvermoon! Very relatable and awfully true for those who really don't care about others' feelings. They really are very mean ,aren't they? Just think about themselves and have such a 'superiority complex'. Yo don't have to care even if you are on their 'losers' category(if you are).
"Some person thinking her life is good grades and perfection?!"
I think we all hate those nerds who talk of nothing but grades and are always striving for perfections!
"Cause my feelings are stumbling on each other and my heart is a burning stove"
^This line was amazing !And the comparison. Nice actually... bt I'm not clear about the meaning.
"I believe emotions are not a mirage of the brain, but a furnace of the heart"
This line was the most marvelous one . So TRUE!!
You really write good poems. (I won't be surprised if this also comes in literary spotlight!)
Keep writing!!

OH! It is i the literary spotlight!! I did't see it before.
CONGRATS!!
Anu I%u2019m not sure you realize how much warmth you generate with your kindness.. kill them with your kindness they say, huh? That line about the (heart is a burning stove) is kinda personal.. tho it means that all heat coming from me is burning. Not the kind of pleasant warmth, but an unpleasant one. Basically, my feelings hurt me.
Oh... I got it now!
Woah, this poem is so powerful honestly. I really felt the anger, hatred, and emotions in this one and it hits hard, but it feels so good. I absolutely love how the words hit the reader and really makes them feel every inch of your emotions like being caught in a storm. I absolutely adore poems that are powerful and are so emotional. It really shows the writer's voice and vulnerable side in their work and just shows the passion and love in their poem and works. I also loved the rhyme of this poem and got so sucked into it as it went really well with the improved emotionally charged language and made this poem very engaging and wonderful to read. I honestly feel like this poem has really shown your writing growth so far on here! Good Job and keep writing! Also if you ever need to vent or chat I'm here for ya.
You%u2019re a much kinder person than you think toxic.. and awww thanks for the review. It literally charmed me %uD83E%uDD70 I%u2019d be happy to chat.. but I have nothing to say %uD83D%uDE05
This poem is both lovely and sad. there is much raw power behind the words and enough of a buildup to make a mic-drop at the end feel warranted.
here are some things I noticed:
"My personality is not the same, nor the way in which I grew"
The same as what?
"I live life trying hard to hide that on the inside, I’m falling apart"
"on the inside" is acting as an interjection, so there should be a comma both before and after it.
It’s said the music you listen to is what shapes your vision of life. Then I wonder what kind of garbage, you must be listening to
the comma is unnecessary
this is a great piece, and I would love to read more from you. as always my critiques are only meant to help you improve.
keep writing

Ps. you seem very sad, I might not be the most functional person, but if you want to talk you can message me
I%u2019ll try answering all you questions..
This poem is about the people around me, saying my personality is not the same; means it differ from the rest. Some people would complain of me being weird or something else.. basically, they%u2019d complain of me having a personality.
For the comma.. umm.. no..
For the next comma, well yeah I need it- for the rhythm. I%u2019m not sure you realized, but when I read a poem; (most importantly, mine) I have a RhYthM
For the P.S, I think it%u2019s very sweet of you. But who%u2019d want to listen to such whiny words that are mine.. no.. don%u2019t waste your time on me
