Home Alone

June 21st, 2005

It’s hard to think I’ve lost my mind
That now my life can feel so blind
To know you left me in the rain
To have a heart that’s filled with pain
I am lost in a world and it’s like that
They don’t know where I’m currently at
No more smiles from my family
I miss them all but they can’t see
It’s so lonely in the middle of nowhere
I wish I could ask them if they care
I’m on my own and I’m so alone
With no place that I can call my home
My eyes are like clouds that are ready to rain
And this heart of mine has drove me insane

Middle School

2004

I thought I escaped them
But now they’re back
This is my home
But they don’t understand
I can’t stand them anymore
And my parents don’t listen
When I want to escape them
And go to my friends
The answer’s always no
So to escape them
I have to go to school
I wouldn’t say it’s worse
But it doesn’t really help
Everyone hates me
That’s middle school for you
One minute you have friends
And the next you don’t
No matter what I do
Where I go
Where I hide
There’s always someone
Watching me
Haunting me
Following me
Telling me to do this
Do that
There’s no easy way out
So I sit here writing 
It helps the pain get out

Myself First

March 11th, 2024

So many thoughts in my head
But where do I start
The anxiety in my mind
Or the pain in my heart
I’m facing this sober
No more letting it linger
The feelings I bottled up
I only traced with my finger
These two months by myself
I’ve felt so alone
Confined in these walls
That I learned to call home
I’ve been working on myself
Because that is what I need
Because I’m the only one
Who can set myself free
These memories I replay
I won’t let them be my prison
So I’m writing it all
Until every thought has arisen
My mind is so full
It’s going to burst
But I won’t bite my tongue
I’m putting myself first
