The Question Why?

I am wondering around with my head in the clouds.
My body,spirit and soul are trapped in a firery hell
with no way to escape.It is dark and I am alone and
scared.I am incased in my troubles.The light at the end 
of the tunnel is nowhere in sight.I am my worst enemy.
My cries for help are never heard.The real me is never
seen.The tears I have cried like a river of sadness.I so
want my sorrows to fade away.My hopes and dreams
are hiding in a place not wanting to be found.I have
looked and looked but have yet to find the right roads
to follow.My fears are over powering me and I have
lost the strength to fight back.My eyes see what noone
else can see.My ears hear what noone else can hear.My
heart cries out in pain.I seem to be intangled in a web
of darkness unable to see the light.I want to break free
of the challenges that lie in front of me.I want to learn
how to love but can't,I want to be loved but won't.
If anyone happens to find the answer to the question
why,please be sure to let me know.

                   Colleen Marie Bono

I have revisited your poem. There is someone that you can turn God but also there has to be a person in your community that understands. I'll be praying that that person crosses your path. Sara
