Hurting Poem by Teens

Be My Friend

It's about needing a friend, a real one. Of course, I have real friends, but like many teenagers, I don't have friends who understand me. That's basically what I'm trying to say in my poem.

I love this poem. I'm 17 years old, and I also feel that way. Yes, I have a lot of friends, but no one understands.

Help Me

Hear my cries. I need your help.
Please come save me from myself.

Be my friend, a guiding light.
Give me strength to do what's right.

Find my heart. I've lost my way.
Tell me I will be okay.

Feel my pain and catch my tears.
Help me conquer all these fears.

Let my silence speak to you.
Find some way to help me through.

Put yourself into my shoes.
And just like me, you'll be confused.

I can very much relate. I just found out yesterday that my entire friend group was just using me for my money. They took advantage of me and now I don't know what I'm going to do. They were my only friends. They never truly understood me either. I had to put on another personality (which I absolutely hated) just for them to even talk to me. So yes, I am another hurting 13 year old struggling with diagnosed anxiety & major depression.

This poem tells what everyday of my life is like. It relates to what all teens feel. There's no way around depression. It's just there. I can relate to this because my friends talk behind my back and laugh at me when I try to hard. I don't know what to do and there is no way out.
