&quot;I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they&#039;re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe

Bottled emotions,Thoughts that aren't clear, Not knowing whats wrong, Living in fear,if i knew i would tell you flat out,but i cant, because i dont even know what im upset about,I feel broken and all alone,I hate every where,especially home,Ive tried everything, i just want to numb the pain,im tired of being helpless and hopeless, im tired of feeling insane,im vulnerable, this i hate to say, maybe im upset because you didnt stay,im crazy,i wear my heart on my sleeve, everyone i have ever loved has left and given up on me,i wasn't good enough, and have yet to be, when will i find someone who will always stand by me?

There are many that will stand by you, m' dear. Sadly, they are few and far between...

I liked this poem. It was a well articulated display of desperate cries for stability and love. I am rather fond of the phrase 'I wear my heart on my sleeve,' for it's very poetic. Well done.
