Nobody Understands Me
(8 votes, average: 4.5 out of 5)
Loading ...Nobody understands they don’t know what i feel i cut myself to relieve the pain on the inside but everybody thinks I do it to try to act all cool but I don’t care what people think or say at school they don’t live my life so they don’t understand the hurt I feel on the inside nobody seems to to understand my life is messed up nothing ever feels right. Nothing is ever good in my life. Everything is wrong nobody seems to understand that it hurts to realize that I don’t have a dad or mom. Everybody tells me to forget the past. To forget the friendships that never did last. I move from town to town trying to find a home but never do succeed. Every step that I take is more pain developing. I wish somebody would say they understand then again they couldn’t all my life revolves around death my life is like a dream a dream slowly becoming a nightmare which i wake from screaming. Nobody seems to understand that foster care is the worst place to be I get moved into a house full of strangers without any of my family. I sit there wondering why and the longer i sit there the harder i cry. I wish my brother was right here by my side as I cry my eyes out all damn night nobody gets that all I want is some one to hold my hand and look me in the eyes and tell they’ll be there right by my side starting right then and as all my wishes just fade away I take a blade and try to cut my life away and still nobody understands me all I want is for one day my life is not full of misery.

i felt so much sadness reading your verse.. i sincerely hope your life becomes filled with more love n peace n happiness ..
Don’t worry, your not alone. This is exactly how my friend feels. I hope you feel better and be happy. Can you write a poem on what can make you feel better? i want to make my friend feel better so bad, but i really don’t know how…
i love you poem.you put sooo much emotion in it . i feel for ya gal!! how do you post poems on here
I know how you feel. i wuz adopted too. my life sucks but dont cut your self. just stop wat ur doing and think how good life could be if you actually had something to live for.
i may not be adopted, but i know the pain your feeling. i know this because i feel like my parents don’t even think i am here, when i can be right in frount of them. i have cut my self, to me the pain i feel inside is way worse feeling than the pain from cutting my wrist.
i know how it fells a little bit my real dad used to abuse me i wanted to die but then i moved very far away from him.If you need someone to talk to ill talk to u and if you need a home i can find one for you. oh hey jen can u post these please and then call me i really need to talk to you thanks milk
that was so sad i feel yur pain.
when i was reading this i couldnt help but cut myself to relive the pain
i know how u feel, i dun have a father and that alone is hard. maybe you should be like me. have a mask which you wear everywhere. except when u are alone. your mask will be another side which everyone knows. its like having a split personality….
and maybe if u have a really really close friend, tell them, the truth, why u use the mask u use. i have a friend who is always very cheerful. always has a smile on her face. one day she told me way she was always so cheerful and happy. it was one of the best reasons i’ve heard. she told me; “i’m always a happy cheerful person, to show the world that even though my parents are split i can still get on and live with my life.”
and although your friends tell u to “forget and forgive” maybe u should give it a try. i know its hard to “forget and forgive” but u cannot continue lving in the past. sure it maybe one of the worst chapters of your life but if you just forget, not completely, but to accept what has happened in your life and look back at it one and and be proud of yourself that you made it through. by forgetting you can prepare for the future.
thats what im doing now. i’m going through a really hard time atm. but for all i know i dun care what others think of me. because they do not know me. only my mask. and a handful of ppl i trust and care about know my story. and they try and support me in any way they could.
p.s u shouldn’t cut yourself cuz it leaves bad marks (i would know)
hope this helped
I loved this poem it was so sad it made me cry. I would love to get to know u and talk to you. Im in a foster house right now and i have been n a shelter to because my dad raped me and my mom did all sorts of drugs. They never fed us or nothing an so by the time cps cam i was 14 and i only weighed 50 pounds. The doctor said i was very unhealthy and i needed to eat. It is gay and i know how u feel cps is terrible i hate them i cry every night of my life because of them but ya know it will get better it may be stormy now but it cant rain forever.
Bye I’m so sorry…
i feel your pain……i know how it feels to not be understood…….my life is bad,too……..but i have to say that cutting your self is not the answer,trust me i know…..the marks it leaves will remind you of how badly live is……. my past and present is not that good either but i do what i can do to forget it all…….i would love to tell you a story but i dont have much time now……
I cut myself before to get rid of the pain of my dad mulesting me.
i know how it feels 2 have no1 understand and have a crap life but i just have 2 fake that im not about 2 kill myself. i know that even thought it might feel like it, ur not alone. ps, 2 evry1 who said ‘ just forget the past’ and all that crap, sumtimes the past is happening now so u cant just forget it.
i know how u feel
im in foster care too and im 13
this is the 2nd year ive been “in the state”
because of reasons i cannot say
i cut myself too
go to therapy twice a week
nobody understands me
its like i act happy at school
i HAVE to
because if i dont i get more therapy and my foster mom doesnt want to deal with me
she says im too much for her to handle
so i dont know where ill be tomorrow
u just gotta deal with today
and you know..make the best out of it
i hope u get the love that u need
hii i know what you have been through. i dont have a mom or a dad and ive been adopted 17 times by all strangers.i cutt to relive the pain. all the kids at school make fun of me cuz i do itt they never uderstand and i always tell them “if they have felt the pain ive felt you would be doing the samething”. everyday i look in the mirror and see tht this is a person who no one cares about and is lonely and feels lik a piece of paper being ripped up and thrown away……
im not adopted but thats EXACTLY how i feel ,no one ges u,trying to rule ur life trying toforce u to do stuff. i only have 3 people that i actually love thats my mom god and jesus. other than taht my world is lonely .ur not alone.i know wat u feel like,im ur friend i will always be ur friend.so ur not alone……
its OK. Sometimes parents dont understand what people like us want and need, neverless strangers. Everyday i give people hugs but never get them back. Everynight i cry myself to sleep, but get no tears back. im afraid to cut myself, to feel the knife go through my vains. So, i bruise myself, hurt myself. I try to get lost into things i need and love, but everyone pulls me away and get me to do what they want. It kills me inside. yet everyday i go and give someone else new a hug, but i never get hugged back. So, stranger, heres a hug, where i think i need it.
i feel your pain, when i was reading this poem i cut myself a few times to releive myself.
Emoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING. IN AND OUT OF FOSTER HOMES, BEING SEPERATED FROM MY SIBILINGS,FEELING LIKE YOU HAVE NO ONE WHO LOVES YOU. I HATED IT TO.AT 14 I WAS LIVING ON THE STREETS I NEVER HAD A PLACE TO REALLY CALL HOME. I WOULD BURN MYSELF TO REALEASE THE PAIN.AT 17 I HAD A BABY AND STILL ON THE STREETS,AT 18 I HAD ANOTHER ONE. CPS TOOK THEM FROM ME. BUT FROM ME KNOWING HOW I FELT I DID WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO AND I GOT THEM BACK. NOW AT 22 I HAVE 3 BABIES,I LIVE IN A TOWN WHERE I HAVE NO FAMILY ,OR FRIENDS THAT I CAN JUST TALK TO. I STILL FEEL ALONE,LOST, AND HURT. YOU KNOW WHAT KEEPS ME GOING IS HELPING PEOPLE WHO HAD THE LIFE I DID. I DONT KNOW IF YOU BELIVE IN GOD BUT I DO. I USE TO THINK HE NEVER LISTEND TO MY PRAYERS. BUT HE DID. WHEN IM SAD, SCARED,OR JUST NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE I GRAB MY BIBLE AND I PRAY.AND IN MY PRAYER I ASK GOD TO GIVE ME A SCRIPTURE TO READ. WHEN IM DONE PRAYING WITH MY EYES STILL CLOSED I OPEN MY BIBLE UP THEN I OPEN MY EYES AND READ THE FIRST THING I SEE. AND IT IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYER! REACH OUT TO SOME ONE DONT HURT YOURSELF ANYMORE IT MAY FEEL GOOD FOR A MINUTE BUT THAT FEELING WONT LAST. STAY STRONG GOD WONT GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE THATS WHAT SOMEONE TOLD ME.SO KNOW YOUR NOT ALONE AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU. GOD BLESS YOU
I”m not adopoted, but there is a lot going on in my life, so I can kind of feel your pain. I hope your life gets better, because right it seems as if you no longer want to live. Just remember that life is better than death. Maybe one day you will become famous or find the love of your life. You don’t want to miss out on any of this stuff, so no matter what you do don’t kill yourself. Think of the good not the bad.
it’s nice……..but it is sad to be.
I don’t think you ever tried being happy.
You’re not alone …..i hiDe myself in this perverted happy mask,,but ,no one actually knows who am i,,,,,,
cutting yourself is not the answer,
this is me…in foster care…sneaking out and running away…cutting me out of this nightmare they call my life. i cant take this and i did try but i give up…i cut and cut and cut…bleed and bleed and bleed….cry and cry and cry…i am emo…you dont have to ask why…
i <33 it.
diis is almost the same story as mine.
oh my god. thank you for posting this, it makes me feel better to know i’m not the only one who feels like this
all i can say is…thats me…every single thing u wrote in the poem is my life….
I am adopted and I also cut myself so I understand what you go through. Just like you my friends don’t understand the pain I go through either and they think I am just doing this cause of a girl I met a while ago.
this poem is a refletion of your life mine is not the same quite the opposite actuley but i read poems like this i love them such detail in which you create i love the way you put ur words …… i’m glad my life isnt yours but in much hurt and despair you have alot to write about and thats good but instead help yourself by figuring out to make ur poems more to you likeing and ur life .
your words are beutiful just make sure your life is aswell .
wow this is some of the best writing iv ever seen… i loved it.. it made me feel ur pain… so deep… just keep writing hun … it makes me feel like thers another person in the world who feels like me… ALONE..
