All Alone

All alone I wander

looking for a light

looking for a reason

to put up a fight

 

All alone I wander

shoulders heavy eyes closed

looking for an escape

to this life which I'm enclosed

 

All alone I wander

there seems to be no end in sight

it's only getting worse and worse

so when day closes to night

 

All alone I lay in bed

dark thoughts forming in my head

pray the Lord my soul to keep

for when they find me I'll be dead


The author's comments:

Many people turn to self-harm or even suicide as a way to cope with this overwhelming feeling of depression they may feel. They feel as if no one is there for them , as if no one cares. They want to get better but don't know how. If we treat each other with the kindness and respect each human being deserves we can let these people who feel all alone know that there is someone there who cares for them and values them. Being there for other people and simply listening to them and being a trustworthy person they can turn to can make them feel like they matter and help they realize that they are not in fact, all alone.
