I'M Utterly Alone

I’m utterly alone 
Author Dana Redricks
September 11, 2014

Feeling utterly alone, and
Feeling that I’m a ship without
A crew; who knew my life
Would end this way; sometimes
I’m at lost for words to say.
Everybody is looking out for themselves;
I’ve given my all, but who will be there to
Catch me if I fall.
This is me going through the motion.
Feeling the pains of the ocean.
Life can be turbulent, and paved on
A rocky path. I often cry myself to sleep thinking
I will die alone; don’t get me wrong I 
Enjoy spending sometimes alone, but no
One should have to face this world all
Alone; having material possessions might
Give us temporary relief, but it will never fill 
The void, or ease the pain of being alone.
Alone, alone, it is hard being on your own.
