What to do when you find yourself so alone in the world
Partly by choice part by chance
Part by uncontrolled circumstance
Those who claim to care offer little shelter from the storm
Self isolating the sadness you try to hide
It's all part of the high rates of suicide
Salt in the deep wounds from all of that pain
Paint a mask on your face smiling face smiling eyes
So that those who see you will never realize
If someone dislikes poetry or creative writing pursuits
They will never seek an understanding
Of the pillow it gives for a much softer landing
When you feel so vulnerable yet no one knows
Nor do most of said ones show care
The world can be so evil so unfair
What to do with the pain after so much abuse
From offspring from a narcissist spouse
Dangerous living in your very own house
Co-workers that add to the many trust issues
Easy to turn to substances that only harm
Hide those too so as not to raise the alarm
Better to effect self care while being a little selfish
Hit the gym hit the dance class go hit them all
If it helps you can even take a swing at the wall
Coming up up up doing whatever you can do that it takes
To thrive on your own in this world without love
Rising on your own is okay as long as you rise above
