This poem touched my soul . . . I feel so much like the poem is erie. I wish I had the gift to put my feelings on paper like Bek did. Thank you for writing something that identifies what I feel.

I can relate so well,to the feelings described in this poem. I'm not a teenager anymore,but as a teenager,I always felt alone and isolated. I still feel that way now. My heart breaks for the girl who wrote this poem. Because I've struggled with those feelings for a long time now. And I can tell you,from personal experience,that this kind of pain,is soul-tearing,and soul-damaging. I hope she can overcome these feelings,as she gets older. She doesn't wanna still feel this way,for the rest of her life. Trust me,it's not worth it. Depression,loneliness,and despair will only steal from your life. It will literally tear right into your soul,and eat you alive. I know,because I've lived with that kind of hell,practically my whole life.

Silence, Emptiness, And Confusion |
| by Bek |
|
Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl It feeds on loneliness and creates a void Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture A teenager is stricken and destroyed There is no sound of laughter or happiness here The little one has thrown in the towel today Somber, melancholy moods decay the soul It is futile to hope and dream and pray Emptiness builds a home in this woman In this girl, this child where hollows have bred A deepening sea of nowhereness consumes And eats away at every connecting thread Confusion feeds like a savage inside her, Leaving nothing considered worthy remains Destined to walk through life less ordinary Alone, exiled, different and disdained. |

I can't believe that for at least once in my life someone understands how I feel and for once your not the lonely girl at all for at least a moment. And then at some point I relize that I have feeling. I really have feelings. I'm not crazy but the poem somehow reached out to a lonely girl. Me.

Bek, your poem has a real honesty about it, I love the first line, I can almost imagine it as the lyric by some folky femme who has the courage to see things as they really are, or as they really seem. You have a talent, a power so beautiful. "Bek you can express in words the reality many live in!" God Bless Amy
