Unsure

Everything's changed now I'm in a strange place So alone, it's solitude I'm unsure if I want to be someone else Or buried underground Cause I just want you to regret so many things And maybe it takes a death to make everybody see What would've that should have been I want you to wish you held me closer To ache for my touch to reach yours I just want to make you wish you saw me yet again All I want is your mind to run over every little thing about me I'm not crazy, I'm just slowly ceasing to exist If I could just get one person to wish me back to life Maybe everything would be alright And some of you, I want to take back all those lies You need to be sorry for everything you said about me Maybe then you'll start to treat people right if I teach you a lesson with my life But I'm so unsure now If I was anyone else things might go fine Maybe everything great would be mine I wouldn't be shattered on the floor alone now I'd get by without pain somehow I wonder over what I'm unsure of I don't even have much of a choice You can't become someone else and all that's left is to take my own life I'm unsure if I even had the courage to do that So every night I wander the dark streets alone I'm hoping someone pulls the trigger on a gun to bring me home

You know Justine? An awful lot of people read these poems. I try to read a lot of new poets or at leat new names to me. None of us who read these poems know when a person is really writing of experience or making something up. I sincerely hope that you have made this one up but I dont think so. It is a very good poem and very mature in nature. But it seems to be written by a very young person, at least in experience. I'm 74 years old and I have a very good ear if you would like to talk.
