Shadow

I sit here all alone
My heart cold as stone
Nobody will care
For the regrets i bare

I'm on my own
My depression shown
Dying inside
For the times i cried

Suicide
Is on my mind
Wanting to send
Myself to my end

When I've died
I will look inside
To see what i am
And be glad i tried

I shut my mouth
And close my eyes
Countless regrets
And endless sighs

I didn't try
Let him pass me by
I don't know why
I deserve to die

All i am
And all I'll be
Is empty lies
And faded memories

He walked right by
I died inside
I am to blame
I just sat and cried

I brought much shame
To my name
Its not the same
Theres too much pain

I want to forget
What I've done
But what will that do
Prove I'm worthless too

He was all i had
And now hes gone
But I'm not sad
I'm really mad...

You are not defined by someone else. You are a special gift to the world who will, given time be a shining light to others. Your soul cries for acceptance and it will come. I promise you.

Boy that is so emotionaly charged that I am worried about you. There is always hope and a way to let go of the past and to forgive not just others but ones self. Never quit and never give up because if you do give up then you loose and evil wins. This poem is too heart felt to be just made up so please turn it over to God and live.
