Sometimes Poem by Melissa Joy Chesky

Sometimes, I want to run away,
From life,
From reality,
From everything,
And anything.

Sometimes, I just want to disappear,
Go into a pocket of darkness,
And never come back out,
Ever.

Sometimes, I want to feel pain,
Just to know,
For sure,
If I even exist.

Sometimes, I wondered if anyone cared,
At all,
Even just a little bit,
Would be O.K.

Sometimes, I wondered why you treated me
The way you did,
Acting as though
You can treat me
However you please to do so.

Sometimes, life takes over,
Reality takes over,
And I'm trapped in it,
No matter what I do,
No matter how hard I try.
