I feel like this poem may just be personal, because it does not describe the life of every emo, but maybe just yours. I did enjoy it, but it was harder to read and grasp than some of your that I have read. In the 6th line, the phrase my life is repeated twice, which may be on purpose, I just wanted to point it out. To me this poem seems a little scattery...it does speak of hurt and sadness, but I don't feel desperation for the person...after reading the poem the reader may just move on with their life and not be affected. Keep writing, but I would advise there be a bit more feeling, a but more imagery, a bit more description, a bit more compelling language; anything to make the reader remember the poem after they are done reading it. Nice style though, and thanks for posting.
