You're Not Alone

You're Not Alone

A Poem by Dark Tower

You think you're alone
But actually you're not
You're just on your own
You don't know what being alone feels like
And you never will
Not until all the people in your life
Distance themselves from you
And they can watch you struggle and feel right
I've hit rock bottom so many times it no longer bruises me
All the people I used to love used to love me
But now it's hard pressed for those sour grapes to move me

You think you're alone
But actually you're not
You're just on your own
I've been abandoned by my soul
Heart lost desire to grow
The girl I wake up to is the girl that I love
The guy she wake up to is not the one that she wants
I can see it whenever I look into her eyes
I'm not a prospective
With me she is just passing the time
I can't even be mad at her though
The curse of the poet
I will always be the half that loves the most
I can't fathom not giving all I could to see a smile on a person I held close or consider worth my while
While others are quite happy lying to me, you don't trust me, I see the creases in your smile
I see the lines don't connect
In the stories you feed me with such blatant disrespect
But I don't deserve your best
I'm nowhere near perfect

You think you're alone
But actually you're not
You're just on your own
No man is an island
But I'm surrounded by waters I can't swim
No life boats anywhere
Situation looks grim
When to find my inner peace
And somehow I got lost within
Is this a punishment?
Lord please tell me my greatest sin
Please tell me why suicide feels the only end?
Please guide me out the darkness that started growing in my head
Please help me stop wishing that I was dead
Every night playing chicken with razors in my hand, cry myself mad and paint the floor red, squeezing the blade and hoping the pain will give me the strength to swipe my vein until life force spent.
I see faces in the edge of my vision but none of them are heaven sent
I blink they disappear and I'm alone sitting by myself
Fresh stream of tears
Too weak to take my own life, but not strong enough to ask for help.

Dear Dark Tower,
Great thoughts the way you have expressed pain
is really good, but please pay attention to yr tenses they seem not consistent enough
