I Am


Crumbled, I am alone.

Selfish, I am one.

With trembling hands, with weak knees, I am nothing.

The distance I travel, the miles I suffer through, I am broken.

The harshness surrounding me, the hatred that is oozing through my seams, I am hurt.

Walls are building, protection is near, but I am blocked off.

My mind tosses, my thoughts jumble, and I am lost.

Take my soul, embed my body, I am dead.

Pained, I am sorry.

Lifeless, I am no longer human.

Burdened, I am carrying many.

Physically, I am numb.

But in reality, no longer do I stand the same, for I am different.

Today just happens to be the day, today I am locked in.

Agony is in the calling; close my eyes, for I am weak.

Crumbling, I am disappearing.

Selfish, I am without love.

Save me, darling only save me, I am the only importance.

Feeling, I cannot anymore, I am no more.

An ending is near, I am a lost soul.

So lost, so lost.

But only one lost soul, I am.
