I Am Not Alone

I could not eat
I could not think
I could not breathe
I could not sleep
I never thought to ask

I called to you
you came to me
I questioned you
you answered me

I will be strong
and carry on
I am not alone

My heart
has grown

Hope

This poem is beautiful and it is also very strong. i like the way you presented the poem it works. You said so much in just 15 lines. One thing: In line 12 why not say: "I am not alone" Get rid of that contraction. It weakens the poem, at least I think so. Take care, Jancarl C.

Powerful! Kind of reminds me of the opposite of my poem "No Hope for The Hopeless." Very inspirational! Oh, by the way, thanks for commenting on my poem, "My Favorite Holiday." It was very much appreciated!
