Alone

I am here alone faced with my problems

No ones in my reach

Things happen for a reason

That is something people cannot teach

I face the world all alone

No one seems to care

As I looked around

For someone’s help

The reality of it was

No one was there

Why am I crying?

I wonder looking in the mirror

Is that me?

Or is that reflection lying

It looks familiar on the outside

But inside it is dying

I face this picture all alone

Behind my tears

What I cannot see

Tomorrow will bring

And that is something I fear

Am I living or dying?

There’s something I’m denying

As I sit here alone

To find out the truth:

My life is the guardian

Of my soul

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was written in 1997. I had just recently moved to a new neighborhood and felt extremely out of place. I was constantly  alone with my thoughts and let my sorrow consume me.
