Alone.

I'm scared and alone,

As I curl in my bed,

Sobbing my heart out,

My chest filled with dread.

Today I spent hours,

Conversing with you,

Trying to dig myself out,

Of a grave I dug too.

I dug it because,

I knew if I didn't,

I would just lie in the grass,

And die with my emotions hidden.

The help I tried to get,

Was the grave I dug.

At least,

That was how you saw it,

When I came home from school.

I was dreading that conversation,

For I knew it would last long,

And for a while,

And I knew that if I were to live,

I would have to be very strong.

You're not my enemy,

You tell me daily,

But you caused this darkness,

And my misery.

I know you love me,

You really do,

But you also have an uncanny ability,

To hurt me,

Too.

I can't hide,

From my darkened mind,

But it would be nice to not have to fight,

You, too.
