When did I become this person- the one who is never fulfilled?
When did my heart fasten- beating stone cold?
When did my face turn defishent?
When I look in the mirror- I hate me.
When did I stop caring if people liked me?
When did I become so un-religious- a person who turns away?
When did my morals become selfish- thoughts about no one but myself?
When did my legs turn on me.
When they walk me into shame- they deepen the confusion inside of me.
When did I decide to never stop going- a person who has to help everyone?
When did I start complaining about helping people?
When did I start these ways- of writing a public mess?
When did I take my being into a hidden wreck?
When did my family stop caring- why don't they love me?
When did all of my friends leave me behind?
When did I become a straight "A" student- who is clueless?
When did my world become an illusion?
When did the books start to stack themselves in my brain?
When did I decide my ambitions would be too late?
When did that window of death come so close?
When did I fear suicide?
When have I not hated my breathless, Sneaky life?
When did the T.V stop entertaining me?
When did I decide it was better tio read?
When did I pick up a pen?
When will their be love?
When did I hide my face?
When did I become this person- the one who is always alone.
When did I relieze that I only feel like this when I get home?

Wow, this poem actually kind of hits very close to home with me. I went through the same feelings of self-loathing as you did, tuned myself out to the world, well I also probably went through more shit than a lot of people but still. YOur poem was very well written, and someone like yourself should realize that yes you may feel depressed at times but you should also rejoice about that. A lot of "happy" people are just using that as a charade. You should be overwhelmed with joy that you can at least have your own feelings, good or bad. Remember there's no point in living if you can't feel alive. But this was excellently written.
