I sit still, alone...
My thought are racing,
My heartbeat rapid,
My breath frantic.
I'm scared, crying...
I don't know what to do,
I don't understand what's going on, I'm so confused.
I can't think straight...
My feelings in a blur,
I'm trying to keep myself under control,
But it's getting harder by the second...
I'm screaming inside,
Can't take anymore,
I want to let go.
I don't want to feel this pain anymore...
My thoughts are shifting,
I'm desperate.
Contemplating my choices...
I turn my music up,
Louder,
So they can't hear me sobbing.
Hurting...
The pain's so intense,
Like a knife.
I let out a cry.
But they can't hear me,
I'm drowned out by the music...
My best friend...

Isn&#039;t it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us.

I understand this to a T, try looking at my poem Thriving on The Outside, Dying Inside. It's very similar. Great job!
