I sit here alone
I don’t want people with me
There is no one here
Except me and the sea
People don't understand
Or they just do not care
No one looks at the person within
Or if you let people close
They hurt you, they bind you
If you let them pierce your thick skin
My hair shrouds my face
Hiding tears, hiding hurt
If you try, I will not let you in
My world is so dark
So perilous and cold
To admit you would be almost a sin
There is bitterness inside me
So much hate; so much pain
Not a person must find it
Let them think me insane
To stay alone here
Isolated in the storm
Is not exactly normal
But I do not wish to conform
For I want no one to find me
The person deep in the heart
Concealed from the world
Which is why I stay apart.

Wonderful poem. I know how you feel, about hiding yourself from others so they don't hurt..but theres aways that one person who can get in when you aren't expecting it, that will change you're life forever. Again Wonderful write. Keep it up and good luck in the contest. Violet Nightfall
