The following poem is really dark and sad, but I'm letting it out there, because I know many people deal with heavy problems. Some people may find this triggering! ⚠

When I'm alone
I let go of the fake smile
It's really been a while
The tears stream down my face
In my mouth a bitter taste
Keeping it all in is hard to bear
But they don't care

When I'm alone
I whisper to myself,
"I don't want to be me."
I look at myself.
Garbage is all I see.
Silent screams written onto a note
Gasping for air as my breath catches in my throat

When I'm alone
Dreadful thoughts pullulates into my head
Oh how much I wish I was dead
Questions after questions fill my mind
The answers I can never find
I was born to endure this pain
Happiness I can never gain

When I'm alone
I choke on my tears and break
From this nightmare I wish I could wake
I cry more and more everytime
This life of mine is not sublime
My eyes run dry
All I can do is sigh
No more tears to shed
I force my skin to cry instead

When I'm alone
My eyes become tumid
My nose red
My flesh wounded
The cruel things they said
My mind perplexed
My heart broken
What is next?
I can't breath I'm choking
My soul fading
Down on my knees begging
I want to die
But all I can do is cry, cry, cry
