Alone Poem by Jessica Robert

With a mind full of wonder
And a heart so easily shattered
How can I plant
A seed of hope in my fragile soul?
When all hope fails me,
And faith ridicules my tears
I fall,
I fall into caution
A guard, tough and uneasily cracked
I build it taller, and taller
To keep myself safe
And together.

A mind can lie,
Telling you things seem different,
The one you are trying to win over
Seems to be acting different...
But in the truth,
Maybe they are just acting nicer,
or the exact same as always;
but you've forgotten,
The way they've always been
Yet, since the mind has told you differently
You have already hoped a different fate
You hope they think of you as you do of them
You cross your fingers that they want you like you want them
But in the end,
It's just you.
Alone.
Hurt and falling; shielding yourself against life.

Or you could be just like me,
Afraid to let anything go
Afraid to tell anyone how you feel
Afraid and nervous.
Wasting life away, letting chances slip
And in my ending,
I am left to face wonder, fear, and regret.
Watching life pass me by, silently
Alone.
