Why was I so Sad

by Chritty - Aries

In my lonliest hour I sat in a dark room
praying to the stars, to God and to the moon
to anyone that could hear my cries for help
to anyone that would listen
but no one was there
I sat all alone in a wicker chair
 

 all I could do was cry
my heart was in pain and I didn’t understand why
I had fallen in a cave of darkness
and I was scared
what were these feelings that I couldn’t explain
why did I feel hatred and ashamed

tears would fall and I didn’t know why
all I could do was sit alone and cry
no one could tell me what was wrong
they said I was fine by why did I feel so sad
I felt weak when I should have been strong
nothing could help I tried cutting and starvation
but that didn’t feed the craving
I tried talking about it but no one understood
they didn’t know what to say
all they could do was hug me tight
and tell me that it was all in my mind


what was wrong with me
did others feel this way
did they have to struggle day to day
just to stay alive
did they want to live
I wasn’t sure if I did
no one knew what was wrong with me
I couldn’t even see
why I was so sad
alone in a dark room I would sit
and stare at the walls
life wasn’t how I had imagined it
not at all
I could fake being all right
and everyone would believe
but they didn’t see how lonely I was at night
how I wished that I could be anyone else but me
why was I sad
