IN A ROOM OF DESPAIR

Sitting in a room of despair,
huddled in the corner,
so alone,
so afraid,
so much in pain.

Echoes of the past,
haunting me,
for fear of it
coming after me again.

Tears dripping down my face,
tears so black from the hurt,
that it eats me up inside.

Won’t somebody please find me?
So alone.
Hidden in the dark,
wearing it as if it were my skin.

Won’t somebody save me
from this thing
eating me inside,
choking from the grip
it has over me?

Won’t somebody hold me?
Please hold me?
I can’t run.
I can’t hide.
It’s in me.
It’s hurting so bad.

Memories of the past,
hints of the future…
Worthless.
Rejected.
Abandoned
and cast aside.

Won’t somebody please hold me?
I just want it to stop.
I’m so scared of me right now.

Please somebody save me?
Hold me?
Please hold me tight…
So scared
and so alone…
