Am I The Only One? (Not Alone)
Am I the only one who hates his own skin
Am I the only one who was born into sin
Am I the only one who dreams nightmares
Am I the only one who rid themselfs of cares
Am I the only one who lost their childhood
Am I the only one who is the opposite of understood
Am I the only one who cuts themselves at night
Am I the only one who isnt even close to alright
Am I the only one who is fascinated by death
Am I the only one who waits till the day of his last breath
...No
There are many of us in the depths of despair
There are many of us whos issues we share
There are many of us losing ourselves
There are many of us with our hearts on the shelves
...
We would ask for help but we are to noble
Living our lives very woeful
Sitting alone as we cry all day
We would ask for help but what would we say
...
So we will walk through life sad and sheltered
Left with our emotions hot and sweltered
Bottled inside and thrown to the ground
Walking through life lost and unfound
...
So this is a poem for those without that hand to hold
A poem for those whose souls are sold
A poem for anyone who is neglected
A poem for anyone unaccepted
...
I couldnt imagine what your going through
But trust me Ive got my own issues too
We all have our shitty days,weeks,months, maybe even years
And we all have our own paralyzing fears
So trust me when I say your not alone
Millions of others with souls of stone
So let me be be the first to apologize
For your history of depression and despise
...
So when you ask "Am I the only one?"
Think of all of us in the long run

Fri, August 12th, 2011 8:52pmWow. This was so dark, so tainted by life- but then it showed that we aren't alone. That everyone is feeling mutual pain.
Loved it.

I am absolutly IN LOVE with that poem. It is very deep and insightful to people in bad situations. I read it a few times just because it's so moving. Good job =)

Tue, August 16th, 2011 6:26pmThat poem is so heart wrenchingly beautiful. It showcases depression with a glimmer of hope. I don't think there's anyone who can read this poem and not be moved. It's real and I like that :)

Wed, August 17th, 2011 8:12amLike the fact that you've written about emotions from which a lot of people would run...
I LIKE IT!
beautiful but dark, but dark is a good thing because to many people ignore it even though thats were the most potent emotions lie. i've known for along time that i'm not alone with pain. my childhood was ruined by rape and parents fighting but now i worked it all out because i found that small light that some many of us are so unluck as to see. my best friends are emo but they do it because their boyfriends broke up with them, i almost was because i have demons hunting me even when i'm not asleep. could you check out my poem My Death Is Not An Option? i hope we can become friends, i hope i don't sound sappy or like some goody 2 shoes out there but i really do want to be your friend and maybe help you find that small light so far away from the darkness your still smothered in. thank you for spaming me, i enjoy your work much more then bubbly perfects.
Fri, August 19th, 2011 2:53amI don't to know how to feel about this one. Of course, it's epic. But... it's either comforting because the words explain you are never truly alone or abandoned in the way you feel or the way you are... though maybe slightly... maybe very dark... in the way that everybody has pain no matter what. But then, that was my interpretation. Of course... loved it :]
Fri, August 19th, 2011 6:29pmThis is amazing! you have a true gift, it's dark but it's just so perfect in wording and it makes everyone know that there not alone in this cruel world we live in! Keep up the great work
Fri, August 19th, 2011 6:38pmWow! Another wonderful poem. This one is also well written and expressive. Great job.
Sat, October 8th, 2011 7:33pmThis made me shed many tears and think a lot as the first verse fits in perfectly with my life and most of it... Thankyou for this poem! I love it! Please KMU with any other poems or anything that you post! I love your work!!
Thu, October 13th, 2011 1:37amYour amazing at poetry and i especially love this one of yours! I read your biography and i think just the fact that you had a hard life has givin you great things to write about, i love dark misic
Fri, October 14th, 2011 11:31pmI can´t really relate because I myself have a wonderful life in comparison which I am very grateful for, still this poem makes me sad because it shows a completely disturbing picture of the world. Its very inflicting and thats why its great. Nicely done!

That made me cry. Thanks :) I love it and I will think of that. Even if I do every day, I will. It does help. Your poem is awesome and I like your perspective on the situation and the words you've chosen. It's a good point that a lot of people need to understand as much as they can because there is so much suicide and depression.. trust me I should know. Losing loved ones is one of my biggest weaknesses/fears and its weird how I haven't defeated my demons yet. Thanks for posting It's awesome. And I hope you continue writing.
