The Embrace

The embrace
Darkness comes up on me,
I sit alone in a room full of people that know me,
are at least they tell me they know me,
but as the darkness embraces me,
I feel a warmth,
it isnt a chill as I would have thought it would be,
it is a cover that just gently grabs me,
pulls me in,
covers me from head to toe,
it feels embracing,
but yet so alone,
so numb at the same time,
in a world that just seems alone to me,
but yet it feels so comforting to be alone,
only one person to please,
only one person to piss off,
only one person to worry about,
and you know I don't really care about me,
so only one person apparantly cant be whole,
only one person just doesnt seem to want to be enough to live,
the darkness surrounds me,
it envelopes me,
maybe if I close my eyes,
it will just lose me forever,
forever and ever alone,
just me and the darkness,
the numbness goes on,
and it feels good to me...

I can almost feel your depression from this piece. Sounds like someone in your life has high expectations of you and you feel you are not living up to them? Your feelings are very apparent in this piece--like you just kind of gave up. It seems like a real and honest assessment of your emotions. Again, watch your spelling and grammar. Overall it was a very moving poem.
