| Me Against the World |
 |
| It�s me against the world, I can�t take it anymore, It�s overwhelming me, The world is closing in around me, I wish it would stop, But there�s nothing I can do. Momentary happiness, Followed by unceasing pain, Pain that leads to numbness, No one notices, No one cares, They just keep walking, Keep living their happy lives, Oblivious To the fire, The chaos, The hatred of myself, That is always there, Always burning, I want to fight it, But I can�t. The world is in control, The world is a constant current, Pushing and pulling me, In one direction, But I don�t want to go that way. I want to be me, The world won�t let me, The world causes the pain, Causes it, But has no way to stop it. The world wants everything for itself, The world can�t see what it doesn�t want to. No one sees me, I�m all by myself, Surrounded by a shroud, Closing in on me, Suffocating me. Either kill me or leave me alone. Either give me the strength to die, Or the strength to fight. Most of all, See me, Notice me, Talk to me, Listen to me, UNDERSTAND me. I want to be understood, No one understands. It is still me against the world. ~ 3/30/03 |

| This poem is how I see the world and how the world sees me, or at least how it feels that they see me. I want to be understood most of all, but the world isn't ready to see people like me for the way we are. |
