Only Alone
My mother disowned her child today
I stood there with nothing I could think of to say
I have no other family or friends to turn to
I have nobody here that is faithful and true
I am alone in this cruel harsh place
I stand here prepared to take life on face to face
I have nothing left to offer so why am I here
Standing in a crowd filled with hate and fear
I have nowhere left to run, and nowhere to hide
So how do I escape this anger building up inside?
I need to release some sort of feeling
Not one that can be attained
By sex, drugs, or stealing
I need to feel some sort of life
But not the kind you get
By bringing other people strife
I want to have a place
That I can call my home
I want to have someone to love me
So I won’t ever be alone
This feeling that I have
Is to hurtful to be real
Because of this pain and anguish
My emotions I cannot feel
I need of this world to let it be
Where I am no longer me
I do not want you to feel bad
My death only make me no longer sad
