i could relate to this. constantly in pain, but no one cares. when someone is so full of love and compassion... it's easy to get hurt, because the truth is, this isn't a world of love or compassion. it's a love of hate and selfishness. So someone like this Annie, caring and loving... would only get crushed in the end. She would be alone, and very confused. She probably wouldn't understand the reactions she got, ending up loathing herself. The weak fall and the strong survive. That is the way of things. This poem is true to life, showing how sad it really is. Beautiful work, BPR.
i also liked "Are You There?" Things hurt. Even little things that go wrong are frustrating, but you can't hold inside until you explode, you have to talk to someone, and if they don't seem to understand, keep talking to them anyway. People hurt people. That's life. But you're hurting yourself but shutting people out, just talk until someone listens. lovely poem...
and "Dead Inside". There is no way out. Really, BPR. There is no way out. You'll always have your sorrows and pains to deal with, but in that sense, you'll also always have your joy and laughter to keep forever too. You have to focus on the good things, as hard as it is. It's hard to deal with feeling low about yourself, but try pointing out something positive, and if you can't, just don't think about yourself at all, think about good things in life, things you like.
"Lost Child" gave me chills. I can relate to that, not measuring up... I loved it. You don't have to try to impress anyone. Just be yourself, at the end of the poem, you state that you're "only you" but that's not true, you are the only thing you can be. You can only be you. And if that's not good enough for someone else, it doesn't matter. It's good enough for who you are. You can't earn love. Love isn't something you can earn. Love is a gift, and if someone won't give you love for who you are, than they never will. You don't fail. You are who you are, and that's all you can be. You. And that is enough.
Beautiful...

The damage I do to myself because of the damage from others,
When it all seems unbearable, I think of you.
I thought of you.
All I wanted was to make you proud.
All I wanted was to be everything you wanted me to be.
Have I failed?
I love your words and I refer to them often
Thank you. I was pretty proud of the verse as well. Haha.
