Laugh, and the world laughs with you;<br /> Weep, and you weep alone.<br /> For the sad old earth must borrow it&#039;s mirth,<br /> But has trouble enough of its own.


I’m at a healthy weight,
but I wish I was thinner
I”ll never stop thinking about the first boy who broke my heart
I think that buying more clothes will
make me happy
I constantly underestimate myself
I constantly second guess myself
For one reason or another,
I am jealous of everyone
Ecstatic can turn to devastated
within seconds
My trust and innocence have been destroyed
I look for happiness in the eyes of strangers
I have made countless mistakes
and the best thing I have ever come to realize is that
I am completely normal

I like the poem for the most part.  I love the honesty and how I can completely relate to it.  The only thing I don't really like is the last line.  I'm not completly sure why but it doesn't really go with tone of the poem and how you (like me and the rest of the world) have problems with exepting yourself.  That may just be me and otherwise this is a really good poem.

&quot;next time you feel like a failure, think about how you are alive, and you have the opportunity to be successful.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;i don&#039;t have an attitude, i have a personality you can&#039;t handle&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;i am weird&quot;

there is so much honesty and emotion in this poem, and it is honestly amazing. you give a great sense of what you are actually feeling to the reader, and i love this poem.

That's great!  Just how some of us feel or at least bits and parts of that.  Keep writing!!!
