Loneliness

No one loves me
I cry for help and there is no 
reply
This is what I knew it would be
I shouldn't have believed in 
their lies

They told me they would stay
Told me that they wouldn't 
leave
But of course, it came, that day
I should have never believed

I always had hope
I still kind of do
I just don't know how to cope
So I hide my hope that way 
they never knew

After they left
I've been getting worse
These voices and demons are 
all thefts
They were the once that hurt 
me, of course

They tell me to do things
Things you would be ashamed 
of hearing.
I need to tell you something,
This is the day I have been 
fearing. 

I have depression, and anxiety,
The possible bulimia and 
anorexia,
Please, don't run away from me
I can still understand, I don't 
have dyslexia. 

Please, stay my friend
Don't leave me alone
I don't want this to end,
It's been too long, I've been in 
my own

look up the Scottish Rite organization to see if they are in your city or town. They offer FREE phenomenal weekly tutoring using the gold standard method of teaching and aiding dyslexic readers (Orton Gillingham method). I have a dyslexic son and I also used to tutor with them. Free if you have a formal diagnoses of dyslexia. (register with your school to get that testing done) You may have to get on their waiting list but is well worth it. Will give you great skills and "self confidence"galore!
