My Thoughts On Paper

Fifty-Fifth Poem: You'll Know

  I joined a chat

 So I wouldn't Feel as bad

But when I didn't talk 

They all left me alone 

Now I only feel worse 

Than I did before 

I wish that you could hear me 

Shouting to you 

I am screaming for help

 I feel so lonely 

I feel so bad 

I am shouting from within 

 Yet I say no words 

For if I screamed 

No one would hear me 

I need these chains off of me 

So I can finally feel whole again 

But every time I struggle 

The tighter the cuffs become 

Can't you take my hints? 

Can't you see 

 I need someone beside me 

I hope that this message will get out 

That some days I need a bit more pushing

 Unsteadily 

Going through life 

Sorry for when you talk to me 

I'm silent 

But believe me when I say 

I am shouting for someone 

To hold me 

To tell me everything's alright 

I am shouting for help 

From within me 

But every time someone asks If I am okay 

I lie straight through my teeth

Even though I need someone 

If only 

If only 

When I say I'm fine 

You will finally know
