         if a heart cries in the dark,
does anyone hear it?  
the night brings me down, adds to my sorrow.
i have no Strength, no thoughts for tomorrow.
i'm lost, and alone,blind in the darknesS 0f my th0ughts and no one cares.          

I am n0 0ne i am nothing.
i cause Heartache & great pain.
my tears fl0w d0wn like rivers
thru my Degradati0n & my shame.
                
i havE n0thing i have n0 0ne
t0 h0ld me cl0se when i am scared.
they always leave me & decieve me
when i th0ught they truly cared.

A sad tale to be sure.
A well written tale of woe.
once in my long ago youth I was between jobs, and homeless. Just for a short time.
I felt like this then.
I don't advise people on the writing of their poems. I remember the old saw.
"tell a tale but seldom twice.
Give a stone before advise."
This is just the thing to read as I sit here at the computer drinking coffee listening to Mozart.
You have made my day more enjoyable!
God Bless Bob

This is such a fine poem, I feel compelled to return it to the top of the list.
