Without grace

I destroy it all
When feeling small
When I feel alone
I embrace the fall

True words come out
Without a doubt
I pitch a fit
I scream and shout

I make my bed
Like it’s been said
Though not quite fair
I’ve been misread

But no one cares
For scars I wear
I lost control
They point and stare

I’ll never face
An ounce of grace
For, I was wrong
And out of place

It's difficult to feel the pain of being alone, when there are others all around you. I wish that melancholy was a stranger to everyone. You have been missed, having the time to seek out and read from you again made me smile. Thank you A.S.

Hi Anna nice to see you post.. I can relate to your words, as I am treated this way also... sad when people do not see the reason behind the action.. All the best and I hope to see you posting more.
