I am Alone.
Wandering an abyss
Of cold
Of bleak
Wind brewing from peak to peak
They pull me
Away from myself
Into my other side
Where true fears hide
Now hollow
And dormant
Slowly awakening
Bit by bit
My facade is withering away
No longer
To conceal
The hollow within me
That they all disregard
I am alone out here
I speak to myself
And only I answer
For no one else listens
To the ramblings
Of an outsider
A stranger
Who wanders alone
Seeming strong
Yet
Truly Broken
Truly Sorrowed
Truly Alone
Truly Different
Without a home
A failure in the eyes of many
A genius in the eyes of a few
A lost opportunity
In the eye
Of themself
I look for others
Such as myself
There are none.
Abyssal colors
They darken
They wither
To shades of midnight
Without beauty
Just like me
Once had potential
To be spectacular
Disappointing in the eyes of many
But glorious in the eyes of artists
Of Geniuses
Of People
That I want to be
I wish to be
That I very well, may be.

I struggle with being alone, I am different from my peers. I have always been that way, and likely will be for the rest of my life. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the chronic loneliness I suffer from. I want to talk to people, I truly do. However, no matter how hard I try, they don't understand what I am saying or refuse to listen. This was my outlet for my pain, the pain of struggling in school, struggling to make true friends and struggling to believe myself.
