alone

alone
am i
alone?
does anyone else
feel this pain?
does anyone else
understand?
or am i
alone?
like i
thought?
i walk
feeling
empty
feeling
scared
feeling
alone
is there
anyone else?
or am i truly
truly
truly
alone?

alone
i yell
i scream
i cry
i collapse
i hide
i wonder
wonder if
i'm alone
or if
there are others
who have felt
this pain
this despair
this fear
this anguish
am i
alone?

alone
i wander
feeling lost
wondering if
somewhere else
there is a person
who feels
as i do
as i have
as i will
and wonder
if i am truly
truly
truly
alone
or if
i have just not found
another person
here
who feels
like i do
who understands
what i feel
what creeps up on me
and scares me
what makes me feel
so
so
so
alone

alone
"you don't
have to be
alone"
says a voice
but where
does it come from?
i don't know
i am alone
there is no one here
or is there?
i don't know
i am alone
i am scared
i am by myself
i wander
where are others?
i don't know
i'm alone
"I am here"
says a voice
strong
caring
loving
and i just want
to fall into
Their embrace
and i do
and i find
that i am no longer alone
there is Someone
who knows what i feel
who watches me
cries with me
cares for me
and once
died for me
They will always
always
always
be with me
so that now?
i know

i am never alone
