"I write to escape reality. I write to be free. I write because I can lie or tell the truth. I write because I love it. I write because...that's the real me. I am a writer..." -TaylorBreanne

I feel broken,
Worthless, pitiful, and helpless.
I feel alone,
But I guess that’s my fault really.


I feel shattered,
Beaten, bruised, and abandoned.
I feel scared,
I don’t know of what, I just am.


I feel confusion,
Compressed, smothered, and trapped.
I feel misery,
But yet, I don’t think I’m miserable.


I feel hurt,
Betrayed, lied to, and taken advantage of.
I feel stupid,
But again, I know I’m not.


I feel anger,
Hatred, disgusted, and rage.
I feel guilty,
Even though I know none of this is or was my fault.

I feel nothing,
Blank, empty and vacant.
I feel scared,
Because I want to feel something….

This is how I'm feeling now. This poem evokes so much emotion and thought. It makes the reader think about how and what they feel.  Keep up the good work.
