im out of feelings,no emotion
nothing but anger
my brother who i love so much moved
when he left not a tear was shed
my aunt had a stroke
we went to visit her in the hospital
hundreds of tears fell
none of which were mine
i feel bad because i have no emotions left
except anger

I felt that way too. At one point I'd cried so much I thought I'd never cry again and for awhile it was true. Anger is the most destructive emotion to harbor. It eats at you. Do some work with yourself. Why are you so angry? because someone you love did something you didn't want them to? Well, unfortunately, we can't control what other people do and we often will not know why they do what they do. If you can't talk it through with the person, you have to resolve it within yourself. Anger is only useful if we use it to propel us to do something positive. If it can't be used that way, we have to find ways to dispell it. Athletics, primal scream, art, etc. Better yet, start to ask youself - "Is it worth being angry about?" You'll be surprised how many things aren't worth being mad about. All the best to you. Hang in there. The one thing I know for sure is that you will always come out the other side.

He's an adolescent kid who feels abandoned by a brother whom no one else seems to miss the way he does. However, when his aunt had a stroke, everyone seemed to have tears for her...but not his brother. His anger consumes him and he doesn't know why. He has other emotions, but he's either repressed them or they are hidden behind his anger. He has remorse for his lack of emotion, but doesn't recognize this as a form of emotion or as proof that he indeed "has" other emotions...but they are overwhelmed by his anger.
My son went through a stage like this and it lasted until he was nearly 16. Talking to him now he says that he didn't know then, nor does he know now, why he was so angry, he just "was". He says it doesn't make any sense, but anything people would say to him would make him even angrier, especially when they tried to tell him there was no reason to be angry or when they tried to cheer him up. Eventually he worked through it. I'm not convinced a "counselor" or a "therapist" can always make things better...sometimes they create more problems than they solve. The best advice I can give you is to be consistant, let him know he's loved and that you're available if he ever needs to talk...without being judged or beat up emotionally. Don't play to his anger, but don't let him bully you either.
Good luck...I'm glad my son's 24 now. whew!

Obviously angry. The lack of emotions is worrisome though. I think this is common with kids now. They have been totally de-sensitized by violent movies,video games etc. They are incapable of feeling empathy or sympathy. Also, this kid sounds hopeless. How is that possible when you're 13? Coping skills would help. If this kid feels like this now, what will they feel like when life really gets tough? Try counseling.

Bless his heart... I do believe it is his way of expressing his anger. He's "mad" because he's hurt by the tragedy he has seen at such a young age. He's trying to harden his heart in order to protect himself from emotionally "losing" it. Right now he needs to feel loved by his family, he's needs patience from his family and a lot of love and prayer. His heart is very troubled and he doesn't know how to express himself but only through poems.
"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:30-31 I sincerely prayed for him and his family. Hugs

For those who have lost ones close to us at young ages know this is called grief. Its good the kid has started to use writing as a form of expressing anger. They'll need it

A 13 year-old who would write something like this is obviously very intelligent and extremely unhappy with what life has dealt him so far. He needs to (in my opinion) talk to a professional who can help him cope. This poem is a cry for help. A cry which needs to be responded to before it's too late and life gets the best of him.

what is wrong with that? be thankful he has found a positive way to express his emotions. Granted he may need some proffesional help, you dont need to be bagging on him because he is writing stuff like this.
