Not Alone

I can’t take this anymore

I refuse to close my eyes

Don’t want to hide behind a door

Not while this world screams out its fears

It batters me with its pain

The agony it hides, like me

This terrible loneliness

This void in my heart, sucks out my very being

Even then I know

Even in this I see

I am NOT ALONE

There are so many of you out there like me

You see the uncertainty in my eyes

When I talk to you

I fear you will be lost in this storm

And I know it scares you too

Don’t want to lose sight of you

I want to hold you troubled soul, just to console

But what can I do? I’m just as screwed up as you!

Even then I know

Even in this I see

I am NOT ALONE

There are so many of you out there like me

Though I’m supposed to know

The answer to what everyone’s looking for

The knowledge still ain’t real to me

It leaves me wanting so much more

So today I’m tearing outta my cocoon

I’m stepping outta my comfort zone

Throwing out my masks

Setting fire to my heart

Embracing our hurt

Cleaning away my dirt

Because pain tells me if I’m real

Pain reminds me my purpose

Will never again run from it

Because pain is all I want now

With anger to change what I can’t

Pain is all I see now

But relief is all want to give

Even then I know

Even in this I see

I am NOT ALONE

There are so many of you out there like me
