If not today...

Cowering in the recesses of my mind

to escape this pain.
My face a mask of lonliness
colored by horrors I see and hear.

Alone, always alone
I ask no one for help.
None gather me in their arms
to speak hollow words of assurance.
Looking to the future and what I see
makes the horrors of today fear.
For weary I am of this desolate life
and a line I should not cross,
                 ..draws near.

    Ok this is good. You leave me wanting to know what the line is that you should not cross.((which is good also)
    I adore short poetry, and have a hard time writing long ones. but this leaves me wanting more.
    Nice Job
