ALONE

All alone
In my Darkness,
In this world
Where no one understands

Striving, pleading, begging for help
Calm and collected
Screaming inside
Wishing for one to see what is there
Behind the mask of perfection

Wanting help
Needing solitude
Silence overwhelmes me
Voices crowd my mind
Doubts whispered

I can't block them out
The begging, the tormenting
Doubt creeps in
Fear fills the holes
Raping my mind

They ask if I'm fine
I smile and nod
Always happy
Silently crying
Willing it all to just go away

Weaker and weaker
I start to give in
Letting Darkness take me
Into her cool hand
To let all of the anguish out

Breathing quickly
Fear is rising
Want to be free
To suffer no more
And bask in serenity

All I want is to be alone
All I cry for is someone to help me
All I need is the Darkness
All I wish for is someone to see me
