Why Me? Poem by sam gale

'Why me? ' I ask and I plead,
as I soak up the sunset.
'Can I not just bleed? '
Instead of this burning sweat
It is all I need.

I want to break free,
from myself, my torture and my grief.
Darkness is all I can see,
as my words become so brief.
I forever sit and wonder how this can be;
I'm lost and confused,
I'm hurt and alone,
The help I've refused
to see the light shown.

'Why me? ' I begin to scream,
as the stars burn out
A sight that cannot be unseen
as my swollen heart begins to shout,
All this whilst death gleams.

I want to die with out the pain,
Disappear without the fears
I want to die without the shame
Disappear without the tears
Forever wondering how I can be this way;
Self conscious and full of hate
Self aware and self destroyed
Forever too late
for the depression has deployed

'Why me? ' I wondered
as the flames burnt out.
'Why now? ' I wondered
as the flames burnt out.
'Why did no one save me? ' I wondered
as the flames burnt out.
