I am lost deep within the mind,

longing to be found.

The outside world is so uncaring,

so, I dare not make a sound.

You’re worthless, you’re nobody,

I have been told my whole life.

They say sticks and stones may break bones,

but their words cut my heart like a knife.

I live in a world of isolation,

even from within.

Nobody sees the tears I cry,

nobody knows the pain I am in.

Sinking deeper day by day,

I don’t know how much deeper I can go,

I carry so much weight inside,

truth that nobody will know.

I wish that this all could end,

to free me from this storm.

My name is hidden within this poem,

I can easily transform.

You have known me by so many names,

but you really have no clue.

My existence is really pointless;

if you only knew.
