PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

All around are people

yet I am more alone than ever before



All these people

prying at my shell

like it was bark on a tree

They're all trying to get inside



                            There's not enough room



Gasping for air

Clawing for space

Too many people

Nothing my own



                             Air, I need Air



I need my confidant

to hold me

I need some close to hold on to

But the one fighting for that role

I do not trust



That person will hurt me

Again, just as before

The pain continues

The beatings continue



My confidant is gone

Taken from me without a fight

I'm so alone

Did he let me go?



I can no longer fight

Their claws are coming through

One last breath before

I am overtaken

                            Air, one last gulp of life
