I search the sky
Wondering why
I sit here tonight
Full of fright
A cross to bear
Does anyone care
The weight crushing
Sweat gushing
Pouring from within
Where do I begin
The questions flood
Like fresh blood
Flowing free
From inside me
No one near
To calm my fear
Only silence around
This sacred ground
My mind reels
As the heart feels
Groping for someone
To bring the sun
Darkness abounds
Heart pounds
Filling my ears
No one hears
I sit alone
Still as stone
Waiting for love
Sent from above
On angel wings
My soul sings
A new song
For you I long
To share myself
Taken off the shelf
Living again
I now begin
Giving my heart
A new start
With someone
Who brings fun
Into a life
Full of strife
Now set free
To just be me

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I care, and being YOU is more than enough. Just write what you feel, no one can take that away from a writer...no one!  Take care and please feel better!

Lone Wolf
No one has the right to try and change you. You have the right to be loved just the way you are.  I hope a very special love comes your way and warms your heart.
Take care......Sue

This poem goes perfectly with your name!  "Just Me - Lone Wolf"....sorry, that struck me right off the bat    the actual poem itself was very well written...it has flow and good rhythm to it.  I agree with the above posters, definitely be yourself!

Nice piece.

It would seem that you've finally taken that step.

Great job, I like the flow of your words, they just seem to come off the page.
