Why does it have to be this way?

[xXoblivionXx]

You look at me
You can not see
The pain I'm in
The way I'm thin

You think that I'm fine
That life is just divine
That I'm just quiet
And like to diet

I have these scars
They took me so far
I'm trying to stop
But I'm still in shock

I cry every night
hoping that I will be alright
People think that I'm shy
But my silence is my loudest cry

Why do most of the poems on here have to be this way?

I assume you mean on this subject? Because it's a help site, particularly for people with psychiatric and mental issues. Poetry is a beautiful way to express feelings and it helps alot.

As for the poem, I like alot of the ideas and lines in it. The rhyme and rhythem in it seems somewhat rigid, and not particularly flowing, but that's just detail and practice. I definately like it :)

I thought that when people write stuff in here, they do not do it to merely express their feelings or to help themselves, but also because they want and are ready to accept some sort of feedback on their art.

And yes, what I meant is that most of them are on the same subject, angsty, they lack in originality etc, etc. I'm just expressing my honest opinion.

Truthfully though, your first post wasn't a commentary on the OPs post. It was a general question. That offers the OP nothing in the way of feedback.
Your second post offered feedback in a way, but it wasn't specifically to the OP.

To OP: Good job getting your feelings out there. I would try not concentrating so much on rhyming. Maybe try to free flow a bit.
Keep going :)
