Let me rot in a cold dark room.
Let me lay here and live in gloom.
Let me feel the world around.
Let me be alone down to the ground.
Let me stay right where I am.
Let me act the way I am.
Let me live without love.
Let me be the lonesome dove.
Let me feel just as I do.
Let me mope, not because of you.
Let me cry and don't you worry.
Let me be and don't you hurry.  
Jab me stab me and let me die.
Do as I ask and don't ask why.

*Sometimes you just feel like rotting away and escaping everything and everyone.....including yourslef*

"Whatever you are doing, love yourslef for doing it.
Whatever you are feeling, love yourself for feeling it."

I know what you feel about wanting to escape everything but in the end running away doesn't solve your problems. A wonderful read though and thank you for sharing it with us.

I think you've been living in my head for a while.  I really liked the repitition.  I think it added a lot to the poem, and the rhyme scheme was well done.
The message, although gloomy, was a familiar one.  I hope all is well *hugs*.
Very nice work.

I wish your fingers could touch all I can't say... no one should ever feel this alone.
