Your On Your Own

13LaurenD

Take a deep breath, and remember that it is all going to be okay,

All you can do is take one step forward, and keep moving, day by day.

I don't understand why everything I say is always taken the wrong way,

And it leaves me remaining silent, when I really have so much that I want to say.

It hurts a lot to know that I care about people so much, who do not care about me at all,

And who will never be there to catch me when I fall.

But I would be standing there, allowing them to walk on my back if they were ever in need,

But they would stab me in the back, and sit there watching as I continue to bleed.

All I wanted was someone to hang out with, or really just someone to talk to,

But I guess you didn't see in me everything that I saw in you.

If you didn't want to, I don't understand why you couldn't just tell me that,

Cause it would have been a lot easier than trying to figure out where your head was at.

What sucks the most is that someone else did this to me recently,

And it is making me think that there has to be something wrong with me.

I am still waiting to hear back from him, even though it has been over two weeks, and I know that I won't,

And every time that I think I will hear from you, I don't.

I realized that if I don't reach out to anyone, then we don't speak,

And as much as I don't want to admit it, it makes me feel weak.

Because all I want is someone to talk to, and to maybe go places together,

And know that there is someone who will stand there with me through stormy weather.

But I have realized that I am only good enough when there is no one else around,

And that they are all laughing, while I continue to drown.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Lately it has been really hard for me to find friends. It has been weighing on my mind a lot, so much so, that it holds me back from doing what I want or need to do because I get so upset and lonely. I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I may be alone for ever.

    Beautifully sad! This was painful to read. Because I remember saying similar words myself. The emotional rollercoster! I hope your tribe arrives soon.
