ISOLATED

Deep within
Lies an abyss of darkness
That renders my soul worthless
It eats me up bit by bit
Aggravating my frustration and depression

Daily, it haunts
Causing stream of tears to spring up
Why am I not best at it?
Why can’t I be like them?
Nothing I’m I but a failure

My heart bleed
When they are seen as better
When grades define our intellect
When the outside physique is counted
And a family name paves way

My soul weeps
When class defines us
And no one knows me
Or I know anyone
I feel lonely, desolate, empty
When social status stands out
Why was I not born
With a silver spoon in the hand?

I’m broken
When they sing out loud their praises
When they hear my story without laughter
When they see me without a grin
When they’re glad
Seeing me all hang-up and isolated
And no shoulder to comfort

My body shivers
When love is for “normal blokes”
And not nerds like me

Need I blame anyone for my misfortune?
For thoughts of pains and sorrows
Fill my heart
It’s not jealousy but alas feeling of lowliness
Yet I repose in my Pilot
Knowing He made me part of an intricate plan
I’ll rise, Yes I’ll rise

    This poem made me feel emotional
    My favorite stanza is stanza two because it makes me feel like i will not be useful to my family, i always strive to triumph and achieve success but to no avail.

      Glad you liked it. The last stanza should be your motivation. Repose in your Maker. You are part of an intricate. Above all be self-motivated and tell yourself you can make it. No situation is permanent. Definitely you will rise.
