Save Me

It's how I'm feeling right now.

I've seen things as they were
From the pains of the world
To the tears of broken dreams

I've walked the paths with others
To guide them through the darkening forest
For I cared if they made it through

But through my journeys helping
I, myself, have fell into my own dark maze
Alone with no one by my side

Left confused and cold
Trying to navigate back towards light
With no guidance or company

"Who the hell cares? Stop being selfish"
Someone tells at me which brought up a question
If no one cares about me, why do I care about others

All I've done in this life was be there
For every heavy soul except mine
I ignored it in hear of being selfish

But now I realized the truth
The truth that no one knows what I've done
What I've done for others and not myself

So in the darkness I scream
In anger, sadness, and desperation
Into a space that only I fill

SAVE ME
It echos int the laughing wind
Carrying the words to deaf ears

Can anyone hear me?
Does anyone care anymore?
Can anyone save me?

It's been months since someone looked at me
With concern and ask," Are you OK?"
Instead it goes ignored

But when I try to keep it together by myself
I'm judged as selfish and uncaring
And then the shame kills me more inside

No one cares
No one will save me
The truth makes me break down

What have I done to be alone?
I just don't understand why
I've given so much just to be unappreciated

SAVE ME

SAME ME

SAVE ME

SAVE ME

Hi S.
I just wanted to compliment the way you structured your poem, and set it out over the page. Sometimes a forgotten aspect of poetry can be how it physically appears on the page (I think e.e. cummings was the first time I noticed).Thanks for sharing

A powerful poem. Most of us need support. Sometime we must scream for help. I like the strong emotion and directness of the poem. Repetition gave strength to the excellent poem.
