crying out for help, poem by an asperger kid

Post Reply New Topic

crying out for help
no one seems to hear
crying out for help
things gone that were dear
crying out for help
won't someone save me
crying out for help
must i save myself
i'm just a kid
it's not fair
why can't anyone hear me
when i cry for help
cry out for fear
its so not fair
to be misunderstood
everyone telling you who you are
always getting it wrong
never letting you say who you really are
how it hurts
to feel crys for help go unheard
to feel like no one's listening anymore
not even the ones that used to listen
where is the help that i so desperatly need
won't someone save me
edit- changed a typo type thing, "why can anyone hear me" was supposed to be "why can't anyone hear me"

Aww, Katie, that is a very meloncholy and beautiful poem. Reminds me of me when I was a young teen. It is true that so many things in this world we must figure out on our own. Do you have a faith in God? I have found that that is the only certain thing that I can really count on. Honestly, I don't think I would have survived growing up without knowing God and resting in the fact that no matter what's going on right now, the future is certain and God has everything under control. It is our job to trust Him and discover His plan for our lives. The growing process hurts.

That is a beautiful poem, Katie. It expresses exactly how I felt in school (elementary, junior. high). I hope that you will be able to find someone who will listen and help. If not, you're always welcome here. Please keep writing and telling us how you're doing.

What ever your views you have to help yourself and others can help. Yes life can be rough but there are times of joy too. Find your own meaning in being alive whatever that is.

I don't really see how it's beautiful, surely the whole point of a poem is foreground everyday language with poetic techniques such as metaphors and it also requires tact.
As Robert Frost once said "Poetry is the first thing lost in translation."

However as piece of writing it certainly conveys 'angst' which I certain was the purpose therefore well done.

it was really just me trying to get my feelings out. i didn't intend it to be anything. also, i made a breakthrough with my emotions i think. i found something out that i hadn't even realized. i found out the for as long as i can remember i've had this weight on my shoulders. like if i'm not happy everything, my whole world, will crash down on me. i cant even remember when i started feeling that but i can remember that it started somewhere around first grade.

Well judging by the title of the topic you intended it to be a poem- which it's not really.
But well if it helps you then go ahead.
