Alone I Am.

I stand tall on an island of suffering,
Never have i known such things to be true,
I am alone with the bodies of dead fish clustering.
My trail to freedom has been all but past due.

I dream in such ways as a child,
Thinking bigger and better things you could never fathom,
I am lost and still i make the best of this wild.
I am the radiation with the split of an atom.

Depression recession to the inside of my mind,
And i breathe deeply to the sudden pain,
I cant sleep until i pass out and unwind.
Because I cant stand anymore of the same.
