Lonliness

by Ashauna Lee Cancer - Not entered

Lonliness
Lonliness is having nothing 
Having nothing to hope for in life
A life full of doughts and fears 
Fears that can only be temporerily hidden

Temporerily hidden behind a mask of courage that you place before your face
A mask of fake happiness and cheer
Happiness that does not exist except in dreams.

To sad and unhappy to really smile 
I place the mask to disquise my sarrow 
Hurt by the harsh truth about every day that passes

Alone I am left to fight the battle between myself and the pain that comes from life
I have nobody to confide in 
No one who truly understands the things that I tell them.

They say they understand...
But do they really?
You can only hope that they will open their minds ans simply listen.
But do they?

I am alone fighting a battle that cannot be won by only one person
To ashamed to ask for help I am slowly drawn away.
Deeper into sadness.

If only one person could help
Help fight the battle simply trying to defeat it for me.
Defeat the monster that is knawing away at my soul.

It is slowly winning...
But I keep hoping that maybe someday someone will come and slay the unrelenting hatefull monster.
Forever take it away.

Hidden behind my mask I shall wait for my prince to save me.
Take me to a happy and unlonly place 
Away from the pain.

I wait.

Reason for writing:

    Because in previous years I have had troubles that are to lengthly to explain, but in short I was feeling very lonly and afraid. I figured that if I wrote this poem that I would be able to forget about all of my problems.
And if I think about it it did because now things are beginning to get better, but everything has its time so maybe it helped and maybe it didn't,
Who is to know.
