Breath sporadic
Quick uneven
Palms sweaty
Hands shaking

I Stand Alone

People stare
Waiting criticizing
Greedy wanting
Hands out reached

I Stand Alone

Pressure builds
Expecting greatness
Always on top
Never less

I Stand Alone

Mask in place
Grip Strong
Put up the Front
Walls Firm

I Stand Alone

Thoughts cloud
Doubts wander
Insecurities grow
Never falter

I Stand Alone

Depression penetrates
Always lingering
No one understands
Never see’s

I Stand Alone

Tears seep
Traderous emotion
Strive for numbness
Don’t feel

I Stand Alone

Try rebelling
Break the Rules
I Can’t
Its only me

I Stand Alone

Cause all Actions
Cause Reaction
Not to me
But people I love

I Stand Alone

Tired of trying
Stop caring
Knife gleaming
Dig it deaper

I Stand Alone

Life goes
On auto pilot
Emotions go
Up and down

I Stand Alone

try getting out
Tell a parent
Get on meds
Maybe it helps

I Stand Alone

But it Doesn’t
Up and down
Emotions go
Out of control

I Stand Alone

See a Therapist
Skip school
People tip toe
Ever so carful
I Stand Alone

Cry for help
Anyone hear me?
Of course
They say
But they don’t
No one does

I Stand Alone

But it has to get better
Right?
Cauuse once at bottom
You get to climb up
To the top
Standing Alone

I like this, it reminds me of one of my own poems called "I walk alone"

"My elders think that they should change me
To them I do not measure up
They only want me to be like them
Because they think that something's wrong
My views are different than theirs are
I do not think that is so bad
I get to make my own mistakes
and not the same ones that they did. . ."

I can relate to what you have expressed in your poem and your words resonate with me.

(I tried to commit suicide 4 times since 2004 the last time this January. After spending over a month in the hospital I finally think I have the clarity to pursue my own dreams. There is hope for you too even if we have different problems. I write this to you so that you know you are not alone although you have to stand on your own).

May you have the strength to continue to write and sing your own song which is the life you live.
