Collette

your poem is really just right on with some of the things i have been working on with myself the last 4 years with the help of spirit and the friends that have been there watching me from the outside. i can really relate to these words as a diagnosed bipolar,borderline personality,and schizo effective, i wish i could comment more but gotta go. keep up the positive manner of expressing your feelings and don't be afraid to cry. i and many others look forward to finding these words of yours to create hope in all of us who live in these personal prisons of ours!

Longgone

This poem is amazing i totally understand where your coming from. keep up the great poetry but one question. is this true for you?

Tash

it's exactly how life is=boxed,caged in by predetermined societal rules. the puzzle piece that doesn't fit,no-one cares,no-one sees becoz you've become so good at being invisible. a prisoner of lonliness,i know your words,i've lived it a thousand lives!

jane

i thought that this was a great poem to describe how some-one that is depressed would think. i have felt that way and i just think tat its great

janet

this was an excellent poem. It touched me alot. I could relate, it makes me feel like why have I trusted people why have I ever cared about people ? I just hate how I feel and I feel Iam in my own prison of my soul.

echchha

nice one

n

this poem is very good it is just like life just as it is. nothing held back and real

nikki

I thought I was the only one who felt that way. why do we hide who we are to prevent interfearance and dispare the pain or argument. but the only one who gets hurt is us. Thanks for writing it how it is. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who wears a mask maybe not for the same reason but it's the point.

Kelsey

I love your poem. it's really really good

sasha

i like this poem a lot i feel that way lots of the time

simply

this touches me. its like my mind is being read. my thoughts are being poored out through someone else. like im not the only one. like i cant feel completely alone when i feel i do. thank you for this.

YouBrokeEverything

this is a perfect poem explaining people like me. best poem ive ever read. You really do understand. It feels like you the only one who understands. Thank you.

Clayton

that was a very good poem. it gave me a single tear cuz it touched me so deep. the prisoner inside me wanted out. i hope you do more:)

Kathy

I know exactly how thuis feel's. Being locked up[ in your own mind. It hurts. but in love the're is hope. and people still love you. it took about 13 pill's and a ER trip for me to find that out. God bless. Kathy

Jennifer

I liked this poem it really got to me. It like described me and what im going through! :)

Sarah

This is one of the best poems I've seen. I know exactly the feeling of having a timebomb inside but not letting others see it. I've felt this way for a few years and no one even has a clue. Life really is a prison when you feel that way.

kory

that was a good poem!

tabby

It was deep and amazing.

Bobby

It's something many people can relate to, I was amazed at how I saw my own thoughts in their poem. All I can say is keep writing, and keep it deep.

chelsas

I really enjoyed your poem! I know what its like having to deal with depression and i find it so awesome when i see other people writing about how they feel about it like me. I know what its like feeling there is no hope and that you should just give up, but never allow yourself to think that, God made you for a reason , you just have to find out that reason. But please know your poem was awesome and that there are people like me who understand. Just try to keep your head up and keep looking forward!

amy

i feel the same way this poems does!

Kitty

I love this poem because this is how I feel all the time. I wish I made this poem because it's really awesome

Christin

All I can say is WOW. i write and read a lot of poetry and nothing has ever hit home as this one did :)

april

could'nt have said it better myself!

Stephanie

Wow, as I was reading your poem I found myself nodding. It is truly touching & I can relate. You are a very talented poet & you should know that it's not easy assembling words in a way that it will touch someone's heart but, that's what you did & for that, I am grateful to know that there are still young people out there who can express their feelings in the most beautiful way. It's good to know that poetry is not a lost art. I wish you good luck in your future & I hope you go far.

asdfghjkl

Jelani

This poem is very complexed it reminds me of myself. The Pain of not living outside of my inner conflicts. Indeed. you are correct Puff as Niche said "the human past is ball & chain". We are living imprisoned in our own misery. Brilliant Poem

laura

That was good the way evethiing you worded everyhthing . I feel like that sometimes "nobody cares" two thumbs up

Chrystal

this poem has a lot of uniqeness to the feelings of peoples hearts'. who ever wrote this should be proud of being an excellent writer.

Brooke

this poem touched me because i feel the same feeling the poet describes. I think writing poems and reading them helps you drift away into a better place & they help you feel better. I thank anyone who writes poems to let people know that we do know what there going through.

TIFFANY

IT REALLY GOT TO ME ITS A GREAT POEM GOOD JOB

colin

Elisa

Nothing could describe the feelings of depression better than this poem.

Alice

This is a really great poem. I know just what going thru your mind . GOD BLESS YOU!

aaren

dear puff, i have no idea if you yourself actually get to read this but if its possible i hope you do. life might be a prison to some people but in every prison theres bound to be some sort of windows, so please dont try to escape lifes prison but try to see beyond the windows glass. if you have hope eventually the glass will shatter and you will be alright. so just wait patiently and everything will be okay. someone will come and rescue you.

Jo

I'm so in love with someone I shouldn't be. there is no future in it. but that doesn't stop my feelings. This poem epitomises the hopelessnss of the situation. I have never had from life the things I think I deserved. perhaps some of us aren't "allowed". I have worked hard (literally)without too much complaint, I have endured. 'till now-- I want, I need, and I love with a passion. it's been wasted. !

Anna

My favorite part that I can relater to perfectly is ". Watching freedom is painful, For those locked away. Seeing joy, love and happiness, Another price that you pay. " This poem is exceptionally good.

sally

feel so low. life falling apart. this describes me cant believe you dont know me

C

bliss

marcella

This poem sounder good and i understood because it remined me of my friend who has not such a good life but he holds it all insde and tries not to worry about much of the time he blocks it out.

LC

This is a great poem that explore my most deepest thoughts. There are times where nothing seems to work. like a dark passage. But that is all. We must believe that One greater that us, humans, is there to console, comfort, and guide us again. Never give up on God because He will never give up on you. God bless all.

danielle

Marquita

It was beautiful and deep as hell. No matter how perfect someone's life seemd to be, everyone can relate to feeling this. I think it's miraculous how this poet put it down on the paper like this, and I really appreciate Puff for sharing intimite feelings with people like me who need that type of poetry via internet.

Padmini

Nice poem,i don't usually read poems but i just bumped into it and decided to have a look. I liked it cos i can relate to it. Anyways good job to the persona.

Brittany

That poem is definitely meaningful. I think of life the same way all the time. It seems as though trapped with no one to let me out. I use to write poetry but I stopped because I had no inspiration. I started feeling so bad that I could do nothing but hold the worst in. I just hate it for the ones whom will be there will it all explodes. Thanks for that bit of inspiration.

Tori

That was one of the best poems i have ever read. I just feel that anyone can feel as bad as that just like the person who wrote it. It is the coolist thing when someone can write down their feelings and then share them with the world even if it is someting that most people would not even think about sharing with a friend. The author has touched me and i will never forget the poem.

Your poem did not only touch me it is me I have thought about suicide before. My mom thinks I should journal but suddenly I feel as if I should but insted of journaling ude poetry as my outlet. Any way great way to express Loved It Take Care

Britt

this poem has a great concept if poeple would sit down and read it maybe they would understand what other people go through.

Banshee

I completly understand what you are saying. We have to hide our feelings so no one can see what we really feel. Put another face, the unreal one, pretending to smile. Hide our feelings so the other can't hurt us. And we feel like we are in a prison, trying to escape but there's no doors out. But it's what we were born to. Some were born to be happy some don't. That's the cycle of life. And we certainly are the "don't" part. So let the society be the cells that keep us imprisoned and don't let them see your feelings. never. never.

angelica

very sad and touhing poem it made me tear

Mariah

your poem was amazing really. i have been fealing just like that where you just cant get out and it seems like your alone. and even though people think that other people have it the same they dont. everyones life is different and that poem really helped me understand that sometimes theres no way out but the way you came in and you have to fight to get there.

Wendy

I love it! That poem speaks to me like woah. I feel like that so much. Im feeling like that right now. I don't know if I'll be able to go to Algebra class because of it. which starts in 15 minutes. Im on the verge of tears and its not good for me if I go into an environment where I don't feel good. I know I sound like whining but I don't care. But awesome poem!

Sheri

this is a really good poem becuase it explains all of your feelings and i kind of relates to me alittle bit because i feel like i am locked up and there is no way out. atleast not until you are 18 or older. thank you for sharing the poem and hope that you get more complaints about it.

don

a beautiful poem life is hard, but anyone thinking of death by suicide can truly tell someone; a friend maybe. the mental health professionsals may or may not be helpful, but it wont be wrong to try any and all alternatives. life seems dark to me lots of the time but is a precious gift too. there can be light at the end of the tunnel for most of us. love, don

Elaina

Christina

This poem really moved me cecause I too feel like this on almost a regularly basis, to those who live a normal happy lifestyle, you dont know what it's like, to have this feeling that seems to trap you in a dark cell and to feel powerless to your emotions, life is a prison for me and I can really relate to this

krissy

that poem is just wow im speachless

Heather

I really enjoyed reading this poem. It's so true, life is a prison. It's telling you to be strong and that's all you can do. Good advice!

3mily

You've just shown how depression made us possible to think and create such as this one beautiful poem. May you be blessed with greater skills for you to make more of this. Hallowed be. Vladwrath Malleficarum

Meghan

just a question, what do you do when the bomb has already gone off, and you feel that you can't even face the world? how do you go on when the only thing that keeps you alive is the one thing that you love more than you wish for death. i really loved your poem. i can't even write anymore. i could have gone somewhere with my poetry. i hope you can acomplish what i could not.

Amber

~!~I LOVED YOUR POEM IT TOUNCHED ME SO MUCH! IT REMINDS ME SO MUCH ABOUT MY OUR LIFE!~!~

Lauren

I thought it was a great poem, i have often looked at life as a prison, but i now see that its not. You just have to make something of your life because if you dont, you will be a lost soul, like i once was.

Laura

this poem is beautifully written, it seems so, true, honest, and from the heart it captures so much about how prison and being caught in a corner with no way out can make you feel. and what it can turn you into.

Laura

I write poems like yours in my spare time, about my life, but none have ever been this good. How do you do it?

Aleaxandria

this poem is amazing. its so artistic and real. every word is meaningful adn powerful. my heart goes out to you and i completely know this feeling. God Bless

CHIQUITA

hi, i love your poem, a couple of months ago i got caught cutting my legs and had to see a counceler now i know that i'm not alone and the world isn't out to get me. your poem is so great, thanks for writing it.

cherise

That poem was so true, the way you put the words life and prison togeather, it sounded to amasing

mackenzie

this poem is one that shows that even hiding behind a mask can only keep you stable for so long. that eventually you will explode letting everything out, but maybe its better that way. to say everything at once, to make a statment. to completely explode and say what you feel and make it something that everyone will remember. but until your ready for that moment, you just have to stay silent, hidden, and transparent.

Jake

i really enjoyed reading this poem, it desribes my life in alot of ways, i think the writer is very talented, and i would like to read more from this person.

I really like your poem. It reminds me who I really am, and why I shouldn't give up on life. There are so many things going on at once and never realy hearing them. Trisheal Eddleman

Chelsea

There are so many people who suffer from depression. When I read this poem it made me look at the things I've felt and how I've delt with them. I really loved this poem because it's not so often you find someone willing to share their feelings and their thoughts like this poem did. This poem really made me think about life as a hole and not as sections of a puzzle.

jojo

so unbelievably true- and i've started to write down my own thoughts now. i don't agree with the ending though- there si always something you can do about a situation in my opinion.

Charlotte

Very good poem, it seems as you have spent some time in a psych ward like I have. I can emphasis and feel your pain.

I give this poem a 10/10. It is beautiful in the saddest way I can imagine. I understand it because I suffer from depression, and feel the same way that it expresses. It touched me, and I loved it.

Leann

This poem made tears roll down my cheeks as im going thro depression at the moment at it says all that i feel.

Nikki

I loved your poem! It describes how lost people are feeling inside of themselves. when they cant ever find the key to let themselves out of their own personal prison. when their confused in their thoughts, when their lost in their own world. It was extremely metaphorical and it was an amazing poem! Dont lose your talent because writing is a beautiful power that few people get to experience!

Tiara

Puff, this poem is sooooooo good. You can really write! Gurl you keep up the writing! You should publish your stuff as a poem book. Dominique

Nena

i can very much relate to this poem. this poem was greatly written.

John

The first two lines are extrememly strong. The poet goes through some tough issues many of us have gone through. (You might check out Charlie Wright, on the last page of this August's Poetry magazine. ) Keep writing poetry, and let me assure you, life get's less painful. It's a journey.

tiff

being there done that

Stacy

I think that this poem is so true. I think that I am finding myself in depression. When I read poems like think it make me come to a conclusion, that I am depressed. I don't like that feeling and i wish it wou just go away!

Renee

I'd just like to say thet I know exactly how that feels and it is horrible. I often feel trapped and hopeless. I feel the pain that this person is going through and I hope that this person no longer feels this way and never has to go through the horror that accompanies this "illness" as they call it. remember everyone is loved even if you don't feel as if you are it's true.

A well written emotionally-charged poem that not only attempts to verbalise commonly ill-defined feelings of depression, but achieves this with noticeable merit. Congratulations to the poet, you have a talent and I hope to read more of your works in the future.

Amanda

I thought that your poem was very well written. Its very hard to write meaningful poems and rhyme at the same time. Great job!

Jeff

You captured my daily thoughts, and how i feel. thank you for putting it in writting. Please dont stop putting together more.

ashleigh

i loved that poem, there was a stage where i went through a real bad depression, but no1 knew i just smiled and pretended so no1 could see it. but thats over now and i realise how much life means and that there are people out there who do love me and would hate it if i died.

Cass

It's hard to find words for what you feel, and when you do, they are often insufficient. But attempts are made nonetheless, and occasionally you find someone with talent. I liked it, very much so.

Laur

This poem really changed my life. I dont think i have depression, but Im in middle school and things get pretty tough. My friends have been kinda of forgetting my lately, so i showed them this poem and they definetly changed. They care about me so much more now.

Jen

I think this is an execlent poem. As a poet myself I found it very inspiring. Thank You for sharing it with the world.

Danny

i really dont know what to say. this is excellent.

Stu

Keep writing, it's great it is good to know i aint the only 1!

Searl

Your poem shows discontent, anger, sadness and emptiness. All a complex mixture of depressive feelings. I know how it is like to cry out inside of you when you are mute, when you feel trapped in a world that spins without an answer, slaved by a system. It is very insightful and descriptive. I hope your life is not like that at all, or if it was I hope it is no more, or if it is I hope you can count on me to help you find some answers. God bless you.

becky

life is a blessing, treat it with pride, but don't abuse it!

Mo

I'm young and have experienced few depressing situations, but so much emotion and feeling is expressed in this poem. Good piece of literature.

derek

This poem is truly what life is like I mean is there a way to get away from the un fairness and pain? I truly havnt found a way but this poem describes what life is really likr

Mike

Exactly how i feel at times. This a very touching poem for me.

Val

Im not going to tell you that this poem made a revelation in my life, that im happier now becuase I know im not alone. I knew I wasn't. But your poem related to something inside of me, and its the only way I know of that I can explain to anyone how I feel. I use it when I am forced to tell soemone how I feel. Feelings. Ugh. Well, I just wanted to say thanks, really, for allowing me to read this and for the help its brought. Didn't mean to go off on ya. Peace

AMR

oh my gosh. I feel like im not alone. Iwas begging to wander. it practly put words in my mouth. Ive been trying to express the why i feel in poems,and i couldnt quite get the complete point across. this is great stuff!

angel

Unbelievable. If I didn't know better I would think that you'd climbed inside my mind, heart, and soul.

dyabl

so true

jo

This poems says it all! I nearly cried, this is how i feel everyday, i feel sometimes that life is not worth living, I feel as though i have died but gone where? i dont think anyone would miss if i did! THIS POEM is just THE BEST! i love it well done!

laure

Omg that is an amazing poem. it really hit me hard because a friend of mine is going through depression and its very hard for me to understand what goes on in his head. This shows the feeling and emotion of someone who is truley traped by this and i think thats such a wonderful poem.

Krista

This is a really great poem. The words to describe how this person feels is so moving

Lisa

i have to recite and talk about a poem in english and i chose yours because i find that you have hit bulls eye on many of my feelings(but i won't be telling all that to the class)

Mel

This is probably my favorit poem yet! Thank you so much. I thought I was alone thinking this way. Its helps to know that I'm not!

I've read pages upon pages of depressed poets work, some applies to me, some doesn't, but I must say this really was like looking into a mirror and not exactly liking what I see. Raw Talent. Exceptionally touching. Thanks.

Marli

This poem is awesome! I write of my feelings too. They have never came out so vivid. i thinkthat any depressed person can read this poemand say,"It's me!". I used to think that all of the words in the world couldn't express the pain, but you seem to have found them. Thanks.

Courtney

This is a great poem! I'm going through alot right now and I know how that feels! It really sums it up

This poem is so beautiful. When i read it, it made me cry, it reminded me of my grandmother who i love so much and i wish she can never leave us

Charles

This was very beautiful because i can relate due to my serious ups and downs over the past chaotic years of broken stabillity and today the nice spoken truth of that particular poem

Lisa

Life really sux sometimes I write sad poems to but those last two words just slap you in the face "you can't" thats so sad hope you all feel better

I really loved this poem because it sounds like me and to me it's the perfect way to describe all the feelings inside if you are totally lost into despair and hopelessness. I know that feeling just too good.I hope the person who wrote it is feeling better again. *hugs from Germany

Bren

This is the best poem on depression I have ever read, only people who have actually ever had depression can describe vividly what they feel while depressed, yet many others try, none will ever succeed in showing the thoughts and emotions this poem has.

Erin

this is realtes to me so much this is soo ture keep the good work up

melissa

As I read your poem it reminded me a lot about myself. I feel stuck inside a place that I can't get out of. I feel alone and like no one understands my pain. Reading how you feel lets me know I'm not a lone.

Trey

I understand this poem so much. It is so much me. I hate life I don't want to be here I am just a prisioner in life. All I want is to go home.

AMUTE

wow, now that realy explained my life. its like you were writing my outo bio. you know your realy a very good poet. makes the reader think what your saying is all real. but if it was, and this realy is my out bio then i wouldnt be here. so why am i?

Ashley

Your usage of words expresses exactly what I am going through right now. I, too, write poetry, and I hope to someday get mine on the computer to help all those other girls just like me; to help them understand that they are not the only one who feel the emptiness that most of us feel

ASHLEY

this poem is very true. i get depressed quite often and actually im depressed right now. i go through a lot and i think a lot of young teens do. whoever wrote this poem i bet it toughed a lot of people like me.

Marc

i found this poem was really good

Leigh

this poem describes my life exactly, i'm constantly hounded and being grounded by my parents. It was nice to be able to relate to something in that way.

Diarmait

I really liked the imagery in this obviously genuine poem . Sometimes you can feel like there is no way out , no escape from the lonliness and pain . Poetry can help . It was a brave thing to share such personal feeling with the world .

Melancholy

I really injoyed your poem it really made me feel the pain you were feeling. Hope your feeling better.

Angel

I just want to tell everyone how much this poems means to me. I have been diagnosed with depression since I was 7 and now i am 15. but I have had at the most two friends in those years and I've moved out of my house when i was fourteen. So i have generally kept myself hidden from the world above and they put me in a prison of depression. They is a killer poem and I give you lotz of love.

STRAWBERRYZ
