Justine Cole Poet I do not know?

Unsure

Everything's changed now
I'm in a strange place
So alone, it's solitude

I'm unsure if I want to be someone else
Or buried underground
Cause I just want you to regret so many things
And maybe it takes a death to make everybody see
What would've that should have been 

I want you to wish you held me closer
To ache for my touch to reach yours
I just want to make you wish you saw me yet again
All I want is your mind to run over every little thing about me
I'm not crazy, I'm just slowly ceasing to exist
If I could just get one person to wish me back to life
Maybe everything would be alright

And some of you, I want to take back all those lies
You need to be sorry for everything you said about me
Maybe then you'll start to treat people right if I teach you a lesson with my life

But I'm so unsure now
If I was anyone else things might go fine
Maybe everything great would be mine
I wouldn't be shattered on the floor alone now
I'd get by without pain somehow

I wonder over what I'm unsure of
I don't even have much of a choice
You can't become someone else and all that's left is to take my own life
I'm unsure if I even had the courage to do that
So every night I wander the dark streets alone 
I'm hoping someone pulls the trigger on a gun to bring me home

Charles Henderson October 14, 2010 at 8:32 PM You know Justine? An awful lot of people read these poems. I try to read a lot of new poets or at leat new names to me. None of us who read these poems know when a person is really writing of experience or making something up. I sincerely hope that you have made this one up but I dont think so. It is a very good poem and very mature in nature. But it seems to be written by a very young person, at least in experience. I'm 74 years old and I have a very good ear if you would like to talk.
