Susan Basile

Thousands of people hiding behind closed doors,
afraid to come out,
afraid they will be mocked and ridiculed by others
for the way they are.
...

I feel as if I am on a cloud,
floating around
being hurt by everyone around me.
How do I get out?
...

Everyone say's it is wrong,
but I know it is right.
I can feel it in my blood,
you are the one.
...

Words mean nothing to me.
Words are just something
poeple use
to avoid the truth,
...

I can't stop
thinking about you.
Every second,
of everyday
...

You and I
know what this
means.
...

I am alone in this world,
with no one to help me,
tell me what is right and wrong,
no one to be there,
...

I want to scream
I want to tell you mostly
I hate that I'm so afraid of everything.
I hate that you're the one thing I want the most but can't have. I hate that you let me go before I even got to say goodbye
...

I felt sad and alone.
Years later I then got the courage to tell someone.
The police got involved and stuff happened.
I was hated by my mom.
...

I want you to hold me,
Hold me and never let go.
You are my eyes,
My heart,
...

People lie,
And people deceive.
People do what they want
Whether you like it or not.
...

Together for four years,
We thought we would
be together forever,
but forever wasn't long enough.
...

I always ask myself
what it would feel like
to actually be happy.
To feel that sensation
...

Can anyone hear me?
Can anyone see me?
Does anyone know I am here?
Does anyone care?
...

You have pushed me away
my entire life.
Never holding me down,
never helping me when I needed it.
...

Sometimes I sit
and stare out my window.
I watch hundreds of people.
I see them walking, running, driving,
...

There are some days
I can look in the mirror,
and like what I see.
Go back another day,
...

It kills me to think of you,
and all you have done to me.
It kills me to know that I didn't
do anything to change it.
...
