TW maybe?
As I walk down a street of broken memories
Blurred visions of people that I could not please
A shadow man whispers in my ear
"You know and I know, no one wants you here."
I ignore his words, but the feeling is there,
I cannot pretend that I do not care
I really like your poem! I can really see how the “shadow man” is probably the personification of doubt and overthinking - of intrusive thoughts that are our mind’s tricks. I’d be interested in reading more of your poetry
@Dalt0kki
Thank you so much for this positive feedback! It means so much to me :)
You’re welcome Coco! In case you’re interested feel free to visit my hobby journal - I posted some of my own poems there and I’d be interested in hearing what you think about them!
Basically it's about trying to ignore feelings of not being good enough or like you don't matter. I wrote it recently to try and explain how I feel.
I think it’s able to express your feelings very well and captures your thoughts quite nicely
Here I am waiting. Im waiting for my love. I've been here through the cold and snow. I've been here through the wind and rain. Still, they never came. Im still here waiting. Waiting for my love. They are like me. My love is gender FLUID. I guess like water they slipped from my grasp. Here I am waiting. Im Waiting for my love. -Ashrunningwiththewolves.
@AshRunningWithTheWolves379 This is about someone I liked but waited to long to tell them and now They are with someone else.

I hate my life
I love it when words rhyme,but to do that it takes time,Oh I just hate my life,I wonder how I’m still alive,This feels wicked,just not like a wizard,and after crying I feel sickened,sickened of what was once hidden,hidden pain but no gain,in my bed I lay,wondering how I’m here up till today,questioning “who would want me to stay anyway?”

Every problem…
I cried myself to sleep,Oh I wish I didn’t dream,dreaming of things that ruined me,I’m not as innocent as you may think and see,I just make my world seem happy here and there,While hiding my scattered problems everywhere,I’m not a robot with no heart,I am a teen who’s always at fault,I am the cause of every problem,I should’ve made and album,For every problem I couldn’t solve,
Wishing the world would just evolve.

@The1NOnlyVenus love the concluding sentence! we need to evolve in order to problem solve

2 Cornered Animals
2 Cornered animals,
Corner one another,
You’d better either put it down,
Or rend me asunder.
As much as I’d rather close my eyes,
I know that I can't blink.
As much as I’d rather walk away,
I promise I won't leave.
You think you’re the one who’s afraid?
You’ve already checked out.
I’ll suffer this, I’ll suffer you,
Just to relieve your doubt.
I never wanted you to feel this way…
And I don't know when I will feel again.
the last line hits really, really hard...a great poem!
Shush, dear, no need to cry
Even though I don't mean to pry
The wounds on your heart tell me that this is a lie
Don't be afraid, dear, I'm here 'till you die

Non-existent :
Going about to people please, just to make you feel at ease
giving up my boundaries, I just have no personalities
copying everything in sight, losing interest in things I’ve once liked
I’ve given in on my dreams, seeing no chance to be redeemed
is this life just a trap? Or am I the one making it crap?
I wish I was non-existent, for I perish in an instance
