Alone, deep inside my head; <br />Pushing me to the brink of death. <br />My thoughts alone are crushing me; <br />Why doesn't anyone see the pain I bring. <br />Pain, Fury, Death, and Sadness; <br />Mixed with hopes and dreams for happiness. <br />I arise from the dead, and then fall back on my face; <br />Haunting memories of my hurtful past, I'd like to erase. <br />Alone in this world, no one could ever understand, <br />I know your here for me, but please put aside your helping hand. <br />For you can't save the damaged, and you can't fix the broken; <br />So many words I've left unspoken. <br />Soon one day I will finally see; <br />If I lead the life, you chose for me.<br /><br />Patricia Gillaspy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-with-my-thoughts-7/
