Alone in this World

Skies grey and crashing in,
I sink into lonliness like a stone in the ocean.
Slowly but surely making my way to the bottom.
No one in sight, and a feeling comes,
only discribable as a sinkhole in the center of my being.
I want to scream,
but it seems my lungs are full of fluid,
Incapacitated in my own body.
I run,
trying to find someone,
anyone,
to pull me to the surface once more.
But the earth is barren and cold,
and there is nothing to show for my struggle.
And it seems like...
The harder I try to get away,
the more I stumble....
Falling to my knees,
A silent prayer,
A desperate call,
That no one answers.
And I begin to feel,
as so many have felt before,
that I am truly alone in this world.
