Here I Stand Alone

Here I stand alone

Surrounded with no one to phone

No one to answer my life line

Or care if it was my time.

Here I stand alone.

Here I stand broken

Surrounded by what has happened

No one to understand the bruises and scars

Or care about my shattered soul and heart.

Here I stand broken.

Here I stand weak

Surrounded with defeat

No one to answer my cries

Or care if I ever tried.

Here I stand weak.

Here I stand punctured

Surrounded by torture

No one to take it away

Or care of my mental state.

Here I stand punctured.

Here I stand hollow

Surrounded by not even feelings of my own

No one sees the fake-ness I portray

Or the lies of okays I say.

Here I stand hollow.

Here I stand reluctant

Surrounded by absolutely nothing

No one sees where I may end

Or that I am nothing within.

Here I stand reluctant.

Here I stand tearful

Surrounded by an earful

No one talks of me in kind ways

Or listens to the truth behind the lies others say.

Here I stand tearful.

Here I lie alone

Surrounded by a new magic now all for my own

No one can hurt me anymore

Or make me feel even lower.

Here I lie alone.

Alone. Yes we lie alone. Nice job!

[The Watcher]

This is a very moving poem, and I can sense the pain behind your words. Nonetheless, it's wonderfully written. Kudos to you

[MoriartyMesa]

The sadness in this, was very moving and not at all forced. Love that it is a natural talent you have to put down emotions into words.
