So let me start off with this: I'm not who I seem As a matter of fact, I have a very deranged history It's not about the differences between you and me It's just the fact that I'm way different from who I used to be So take a listen and lend your ears to me As I take you on a tour of what I used to be So back in the day, I didn't know very much I based all my knowledge on all I saw and touched When I heard the talk of people getting girlfriends I started liking girls randomly and I wanted them But, I came across a girl who was about 14 And I said I liked her and she said she liked me I was only 11, but I felt it was true love But in the end, she just had to screw it all up You see, she was the kind of person who although she never was was depressed, and did everything a depressed person does She acted sad everyday, and put her anger on me And she started cutting herself, and started lying endlessly She said she wouldn't do it, but what do you do When she actually does it and she comes crying to you I could only do my best to put a smile on her face But in the end, it was all just a big disgrace She said she didn't like me anymore because She thought I was too sad too much But how can you be happy when the person you love Starts to fuck up and begins to lie and cut I guess all you can really do is feel sorry for yourself Because you couldn't take away her own manufactured hell So as the love deceased, I fell under a phase Where I couldn't even comprehend looking at my face I started hating myself, and I began to feel pissed That in the end, all the struggle amounted up to this I started making up lies that I cut myself everyday Even though I was too fucking scared to even pick up a blade And I started telling friends that I attempted suicide Even though, I was scared of the thought deep inside I didn't know what to think, and I didn't know what to do I always kept my head down, making myself the fool Until one day, I made a mistake I still regret Why I made this mistake, I still do not get I took all these lies and typed them online And put it out so all my friends could read all the lies But one of my friends found it, and he showed his mom His mom told my mom and I knew the trouble was on My parents cried and told me I had no reason To be sad, it's as if I had committed treason Against my family and everything that I used to live and stand for I couldn't live with myself, I couldn't take anymore They took everything away, and for months I cried Because I thought that in the end I wouldn't make it out alive So, until this day, I live with the mistake Of putting all the lies I formulated on display And even though I would do anything to fix it all I have to live with the fact that I took the fall So, there you have it, criticize if you like I'm used to all the shit that people always strive To make up and use against the people they hate Even though they don't know shit and they're the ones who are hated Please, let me say one more thing I know I'm still very young and I'm only 13. And I know you're probably thinking how fucked up I may be But in reality, that's the person everyone sees And everyone says how I used to be the guy Who avoided small talk and had a fucked up mind But, all I really want is people to understand That I'm not someone who doesn't know anything first hand I just want some respect, that's all I ask Please don't judge me because of my past You can point out my mistakes, but I know what I have done And this is a story of how mistakes can be overcome So whenever you feel down, just believe in yourself And maybe someday, all the shit you live with will be dust on a shelf I basically just wrote this out of nowhere. I was really bored and just thinking about everything I've done. Please forgive me if this is a waste of your life, but it means something to me.
that is brilliant. the best work i've read in ages. I SWEAR. IT IS FANTASTIC SHIT. it's so fucking moving man. is it true, all this happened to you? it's marvellous. A fucking 9.9/10!
ooo wow....ACE....!!....absolutely brilliant....but how'd u write such a huge thing outta nothing ??..anywayz it was relly relly good..
Sorry about that man. But that is fantastic. Brilliant. Stuff comes out so well when you mean it. and YOU mean it.
It's amazing, first of all because it's completely unfabricated, completely down to earth and real, and it's an honestly touching way to let it all out...if that's what you wrote it for. Even otherwise, it's a simple yet beautiful bitter memory. Lyrically, it has, I think, IMO, it has many of the qualities that made esaul17's untitled win the poetry competition: simple, captivating flow, honest voice, yet it's powerful and, even though it's sad, not desperately maudlin. CONGRATS!
