Alone

Here I am all alone, yet surrounded by love
The emptiness clouds my thoughts
I sat pondering the day to come
Where am I? who will find me? I’m lost
I’m lost in this jungle desperate for freedom
Smothering suffocating longing for joy
But it does not find me. 
The roots begin to take me over
I’m no longer here. Where am I?
Perhaps drowning in the flood of ones own sorrow 
Who sees me, who knows the real me I ask
But the thoughts just echoes inside
Bounded by chains why cant I escape 
The days are long, nights are fearful
Here I am all alone, yet surrounded by love
Blinded by the emptiness that’s leashed itself to my chest
Frightful that tomorrow will not come to cease the pain
Who adores me, who hears my pleading 
I hear nothing but the sounds of my own thoughts
The heart is quiet it beats to no drum
Empty, lost and cold.. No one hears me
