Afraid And Alone Poem by M McParland

I'm so very afraid and fully alone,
there's no one to truly turn to
to tell just how defeated I feel.
So I must face it all alone
and pray that the fear does not
beat me in full and the loneliness
swallow me up in whole,
I must persevere no matter the
deep endless shame and pain that I feel.

I'm so very afraid and alone.
I have tried so hard yet I keep
screwing it up it seems and losing it all.
I don't know where to go now
or just what exactly to do
because I am broken right now,
and it all seems so overwhelming
and ready to beat me down.
I'm lost in this world
and I don't know how to find my way along.

I'm so very afraid and intensely alone,
I just long for the one person who tries to understand me,
and hold them so closely while we share
all that has been happening both good and bad.
I feel so lost and afraid
because I think I'll forever be all alone,
I feel defeated and know not where to go.
