Alone

I can feel myself falling
Sadness and darkness surround me
I reach out but there is nothing
No-one is reaching back
Silence and noise all at once

Like a dying tree surrounded by saplings
Ugly, unwanted, wasting valuable resources
Screaming with no voice
Thoughts flooding my head
Good, bad, nasty, positive
Soul destroying
Alone

Victim to societal norms
Cruel norms
Murderous norms
Swimming with the sharks
Lost
Alone
Soul destroying

Help
Confused and unsure
No-one knows but me
No-one to share the pain
No-one
Alone

Stand up
Breathe
Build another wall
Make it higher and thicker than before
Learn to stand with no legs
Learn to write with no hands
Learn to sing with no voice
Learn to see with no eyes
Alone

Finding my way through the darkness
Soul strengthening
Not falling but gliding
Alone

Gaining strength
Still breathing
Still alone.
