comfort zone

Scared ,lost, alone
like when nobodys home.
I need someone to hold my head high.
The feeling everything will be alright.
No one can change this
only me.
Stop feeling sorry and just start
writing a new story to change my life,live
the way i want.
Try not to impress
settle for nothing less.
you want to help ?
just be there. so ill never fear
being alone.

suggestions:

Scared ,lost, alone (the comma belongs next to "scared" with a spce between it and "lost")
like when nobodys home. ( nobody's as in nobody is)
be careful of your punctuation and spelling when you post, as it is distracting for the reader.

This poem is more like a series of statements rather than a poem. I hope I have helped youI liked these lines:

Try not to impress

Hi R, thought I'd check out some of your other work... I think you most brave, I used to write at your age too, but never would have let anyone see my work.

Good to see Cat here, & I'd second her advice, but don't give yourself a hard time about it, just do what you do & move on... We are all too ready to take advice & make it into a stick to beat ourselves up with, but here on Neo, we mostly want to better our skills as writers, so just understand that if people critique your work it's because they want to offer you the opportunity to grow as a writer.

I like what you write here, in this prose (as Cat points out, it is almost "stream of consciousness" writing), seems like you are sorting through your situation & getting perspective... I think that's really healthy. Keep writing, you'll settle into a more poetic style as you go I suspect. Sometimes it's to do with increasing your vocabulary & the emotive effect of the way you put words together, I can see you playing with it here. If you have only been writing for a couple of months I'd strongly encourage you just keep going, don't let anything stop you.

Cheers
Anni
