Alone

Building walls doesn't just keep others out. It keeps us in...alone.

I am alone in my world
Dreaming dreams no one else knows of
Sharing the joys and pains of my life with myself
Pretending everything is all right
Knowing my carefully constructed world is falling apart
My heart is bleeding
My eyes are crying
And my mind sees no way out
I am trapped in a world I made
Locking myself in as I locked others out
Can they see inside my world?
Do they hear me screaming silently for help?
If they reached out a hand to me, would I reach back?
Or would I turn away?
I feel helpless, confused
Sucked into a downward spiral that I can't control
I can't slow myself down
And the faces are fading...
I am alone
