10/31/2015 0 Comments New Poem: AloneI’m left alone
Left to defend myself Not even given a sword To protect a body I’ve been showing off to the world And then hiding under a big coat of depression Why do you leave me alone? Leave me with only my books When we know that everything beats paper Except rock We’re not in the dark ages And no one is going to stone me For my promiscuity Right? When you leave me alone I am not alone I am swarmed with thoughts and guilt I am slapped by boredom and caffeine at the same time I am overwhelmed by giant waves Taking me out of my room Then bringing me back in If only I really could be left alone Where you leave me alone Is not my home And so I cannot cozy up to the wall that I puked on When I hosted my first party And I cannot snuggle with the stuffed animal My ex-boyfriend gave me That I promised to burn five years ago I cannot smell my mother I cannot feel my father I cannot Why you leave me alone I do not know I’ve been writing you letters while you’re gone But I keep forgetting you can’t read crazy So what’s the point anymore? I cannot speak to you I cannot I cannot I cannot I cannot I swear I cannot I cannot be alone
