I wish

[milo]

Hello

You write a poem here that speaks of the isolation one can feel while being amongst others and the internalization of a feeling that is probably quite common (everyone else is so comfortable, having a good time, knows just what to do/say)

As a whole - it is deceptively good.  You keep the language simple, the metaphor is drawn plainly but interestingly.

The tile - sucks.  Unfortunately.  I almost skipped reading entirely because of it.  It is boring and the "I wish" line is already used in the poem so what does it add?

I wish I were here
The way they are
Having fun with beer under the sun
So I take another one and smile
But it is like I am somewhere behind

So, if I wrote it I would probably smooth out the meter a little just to give it a more lyrical feel but it certainly isn't necessary -

For the last line, "it is like" just weakens what is a pretty decent line - please remove it.  "but I am somewhere behind"  I oscillated on using "else" instead of behind.  IDK - give it a thought.

I wish I were here
The way they see me
A pretty face and friendly eyes
So many lucky guys they say
But none can reach my heart

up until this last line you mostly managed to avoid twee cliches but a line like "But none can reach my heart" can really ruin a whole poem

Why am I somewhere else
Deep inside where I cannot escape
From the heavy voice that squeezes me
My eyes my dreams my hopes
As if I am not here

This ending strophe is actually the weakest.  "hopes and dreams"  -that's a bit cringe in a poem or really anywyaere at this point.   I feel like the poem as a whole needs a good ending.  For the last part, also, a solid image or metaphor that anchors us into the real world.

Anyway - I enjoyed, I thought it was an interesting thought, hopefully you can find some value in this feedback

Thanks for posting.
