I feel so uninspired
is it because I'm tired
is it because my brain is a liar
telling me nothing
when I should be inspired

I feel so outdated
like a tire left deflated
do I accept the overrated
even when I know
deep down inside I hate it

I feel so un-true
trying to be who I should
trying to be a man who could
be loved by everyone
even though he's misunderstood

I feel so repressed
deep down distressed
on to the next test
popping ADD pills
so I can be the best

I feel so empty
emotionally and physically
like my father shot me
for not being the man
like he had tried to teach me

I feel so verbose
because from here
I'll break my form
of rhyming to say
where it hurts the most

I feel so removed
never in sync
with the mainstream
or self proclaimed
misunderstood

I feel so rejected
I've hung out
with the hippies
But I don't think
they thought I'm very eclectic

I feel so misdirected
so I came to
a poetry site
where I no longer
feel accepted

and I feel so confused
because I don't know
if these are real happenings
or just the creations
of a boy who wishes he was abused
