Crying On My Own, Alone

Crying on my own, alone,
Too many people
Dancing on my un-dug grave.

Crying on my own, alone,
Hiding my face in shame as tears,
Unleash bottled misery.

Crying on my own, alone,
Scared and lonely; scarred.
Afraid to be alone again, and still.

Crying on my own, alone,
Guilty feelings, but I know,
I’d rather be alone right now
Than have to hate
The ones I love.

(yeah.. 'bout time I posted something! I wrote this at the end of one of my classes yesterday..)



Luv,
Lynne

Sounds like classes are a drag! Sometimes I think alone is the only way to cry, and sometimes you just have to let the tears come. I thought the last stanza was especially profound. Good thinking poem.

alone to grieve..not too good over the long term..I feel a lot of pain here..been there..don't dwell on it too long...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Lynne this is a bit sad. Hope you are ok. Sometimes being alone can be a good thing, to be able to think things out.
Just remember the rainbow is always there. Sometimes we have to search through the storm clouds, but it's there.
Hugs,
