Yet no breeze touches my skin
The rain is falling fast and steady
Yet I stand here, no moisture within
People all around, bustling about
Yet no one can see me
I call out to them, arms outstretched
Yet no one seems to hear me
The sun comes out, shines brightly all around
Yet still in shadow I stand
I never knew I could feel so alone
Yet with my own hand, here I stand
I thought if I slit my wrists all would be well
Yet I was turned down by heaven and hell
Seems no one cares I am dead and gone
Yet it’s a loss I feel
Now I cut myself again just to feel something
Yet I have no more blood to give
Slash and cut, desperate I am
Yet no pain I can feel
I would cry, release this pressure deep inside
Yet no tears are to be found
Everyone said I would go to hell
Yet even there I am no longer welcome

Who says you go to hell if you commit suicide?

mercedes, hi. Well, you were certainly right to post this in sad poems. So tragic. I don't know if we're supposed to critique poetry here or just comment, but I would like to offer some of both. I hope you won't take offense. I think you have a heart-wrenching subject to tell about here. There is a message to give. With a little tweaking, this will be a beautiful poem even with all the sadness. My feeling is that your thoughts need to be tightened up a bit. It's a little loose and rambling in places. L12 - I think should be "Yet (by) my own hand, here I stand." That is, if I'm reading your intent correctly. Trimming excess words might give it more impact. I don't know. Just my opinion. Anyway, this is very moving and thought provoking. And I'm no expert on poetry, so take this with a grain of salt and keep writing. I think you have something important to say. :)

I thought it was good and because of the emotion it matched the 'looseness' of the poem. I thought it was good.

dont you just hate it when people pin-point small grammatical mistakes in an emotional poem? A great write, filled with emotion
