Alone all day, not speaking a word.
Nothing is said, nothing is heard.
You ask if i'm okay, I simply
nod my head. I'd rather not talk,
I'm just wishing I was dead.
They say its better to have loved
and lost, well I tried that, and
I paid the cost. My head is pounding
and my heart aches, I wish I could
take back all of my mistakes.
I feel abandoned, like I dont
belong here; and now i've realized
my worst fear. I'm bleeding again
and it feels so good, but I must
stop it, I know I should.
I'm no one special, i'm not gifted
I'm just me, warped and twisted.

Wow, this one struck a
chord for me as my friend
just expressed these feelings
to me over the phone not too
long ago.
Such a painful and destructive
edge to this, but so true,
and beautifully penned.
Thanks for entering & best of luck -
This is a really good poem about how I once felt at a time in my life. Nice work!

Welcome to AllPoetry
This has lots of great lines. The physical reactions to something that has left the author hanging.
Nice rhyming, but the form is not consistent. Just a matter of juggling the lines.
Example:
"They say its better to have loved
and lost,
well I tried that, andI paid the cost.
~~~
My head is pounding
and my heart aches,
I wish I could take back
all of my mistakes
It is worth it. Thank you! Warmly, CookieZeal
