Alone


Am I all alone in this world that I tread?

Words in my head saying I’m better off dead.

Why is it that there’s so much I dread?

All the lies I’ve been fed…

 

I feel so alone when there’s people around,

Why can I just be found?

I feel like my body has been drowned,

But my soul is homebound….

 

I feel as if I’m alone in my head,

All the times that I have bled.

Bled for others and for myself,

I just want to improve my mental health.

 

I feel so alone, so distant and cold,

I have a warm heart or so I’m told.

But it feels as if it’s growing ice,

It won’t kill me once but it’ll kill me twice.

 

All I feel is this negative flow,

From my veins into these icy bones.

Everyone says I have a warm glow,

But my body is full of stones.

 

Weighing me down further than ever before,

Filling my mind with absolute gore.

Let my ice melt and pour,

Please just let my soul soar.

 

I feel so alone and I want to be free,

I’m tired of being quiet and taking a knee...
