This poem may seem abstract, but it's actually about feeling strange compared to everyone else. It's also about feeling inadequate and thinking about how confusing and unfair the world can be.
Harsh words & violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I'm warped & twisted
So many tricks & so many lies
Too many whens & too many whys
Nobody's special, nobody's gifted
I'm just me, warped & twisted
Sleeping awake & choking on a dream
Listening loudly to a silent scream
Call my mind, the number's unlisted
Lost in someone so warped & twisted
On my knees, alive but dead
Look at the invisible blood I've bled
I'm not gone, my mind has drifted
Don't expect much, I'm warped & twisted
Burnt out, wasted, empty, & hollow
Today's just yesterday's tomorrow
The sun died out, the ashes sifted
I'm still here, warped & twisted

THANK YOU! TO all of you for the wonderful feedback. It feels great to touch just one person, but i never expected this. I was looking for poems today and i found one of mine. I forgot i even put it on the net. I wrote it in 98 after my mom died and put it on the net for fun, and now i'm 21 and cant belive its still there. I'm glad i kept it up. If you would like to reach me, email me and i will do my best to respond to all of you. I will put up more of my stuff when the submission for poems works again. THANK YOU! and keep your head up.

I think this poem is fantastic, but the "warped and twisted" gets a little used by the end. It's still good, I like it.

I understand this poem well because it relates to me. Right now me and my best friend are mad at each other. She got all my other friends to be mad at me 2. I am feeling so low right now, and life sucks. But i know that Jesus is always by my side, and i know i can look to him for help.
