Thoughts on paper, Feelings on ink

What do you call a poem when it's so blatantly emo but you don't want to categorise it because it's an amalgm of what your feeling that cannnot possibly be narrowed down to three letters slanged together?
I guess it's emo still right? Because that way it doesn't seem that real

UNDERSTANDING

If someone looked into my soul right now
They would see so much chaos
So many emotions playing hide and seek with each other
Never connecting, never being found
I don’t wonder about how this began
Though I do wonder when I stopped looking for a way to end it
It’s hard pretending to be this
When inside all I want to do is cry
From this nagging feeling I have
That everything around me is pretend
That one day it’ll all slip away
Everyone leaving in their own paths
A path that doesn’t include me
I hope they are trying to understand
To see through this wall
Maybe they’ll see how I’m reaching out to them
I will never ask them to
I was never good with words
But I know how this will end
I’ll be the one to give up first
I can keep trying but I don’t think they’ll ever understand
I don’t think anyone ever will
Don’t worry I’m not giving up
I’m just so tired of this
So drained
So pained
You want to know what’s funny though?
When tomorrow comes
I’ll go back to what I am to them
Because me putting up this show
That is what makes them happy
Never knowing me
But knowing that I will always be there
A constant shadow grey and forgotten
But always there to lean on in dark times
It’s all a script to a play
That we once wrote together
So long ago that we don’t even remember
We just follow along
But now I’ve found myself in act II and realising that
I’ve been the only one following
Words and actions so set in stone
Carved into my mind in permanent ink
Leaving behind rubber shavings of reality
A reality that everyone has found except me
Maybe I will never find it
Maybe this is where I’ll always be
In the middle of this chaos with no way out
