Every day goes by black, gray and white
I’ve given up hope that life will be alright
I need help; I struggle, please show me the light
I need a saviour to hold me high up above the clouds
Away from heartache, depression and strife
To keep me safe away from life and away from violent sound
And if only I could have a hand to hold throughout the night
A soothing voice to tell me “It will all be alright”
A chest of strength to cry upon and arms to hold me tight
If only I could have you here...I need you tonight
I need you to see me as I am, the boy who’s lost, who needs to be found
I need your comforting hands to take away my pain
To bandage up my wrists and say, “There’s no need to explain”
If I could get through this life by myself then I would
I’d give anything to stop making everyone ‘round me feel down
But I know that its not that simple...I can’t, but I should
And if only I could have a hand to hold throughout the night
A soothing voice to tell me “It will all be alright”
A chest of strength to cry upon and arms to hold me tight
If only I could have you here...I need you tonight
I look and I see people so much happier than me
Leading lives full of hope, lives that make them proud
And if I could have that I would give anything
Give anything
And if only I could have a hand to hold throughout the night
A soothing voice to tell me “It will all be alright”
A chest of strength to cry upon and arms to hold me tight
If only I could have you here...I need you tonight
A soothing voice to tell me “It will all be alright”
A chest of strength to cry upon
a hand to hold...arms to hold me tight
I need you here tonight

Um....I'm down at the moment and what is written up there is what I'm feeling and what I wish i had...even though a wish won't make it real.

Dark...
I love your style of writing, you never cease to inspire me. And for the record, wishes can be real, you just have to keep wishing until they happen. You must have hope; the worse death of all, is that of hope. ~LPM~ -
Awww i'm sorry to hear that sweetie. Message me any time that you want a chat... There are good people that can make you happy out there and you do deserve it, just sometimes it's extremely hard to find. I know how you feel though... I would just love to feel security within anothers arms. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

This is so sad, I am going to sound like a broken record here, but you have expressed your feelings of loneliness and desire for love and understanding so well, I have read this three times now, and I have no constructive criticisms, only applauses for a wonderful deep poem...just one thing...just because someone is smiling on the outside, doesn't mean they aren't dying inside...even old girls like me can play the masquerade game...don't take people on face value and never wish to be someone else

Hey. Thanks so much for all that you've said, i really do appriciate it. I understand that I shouldn't take people on face value, but when I see someone smiling its hard not to wonder what makes them so happy and why can't that be me....I think im begining to sound like a complainer. However, I do understand the Masquerade, I hide behind it quite often...and I realize that alot of other people probably are aswell.
Thanks again for your words
Shady

Arw... I didn't know you were so down! Why didn't you talk to me thomas?
It's a really good poem.. it tells the reader how your feeling and it makes you see how down you must feel.
