Alone Poem by Butterflies In My Belly Forever

Alone



When I look around I see people around me and yet I am alone.
Alone in a world that depending on how you see it will either make you or break you.
The alone I have is something that takes time and God to relieve,
The people in my life have done nothing but deceive.
I have my child, but it is not his responsibility,
For me to lean on and let him be here for me.
It is an empty feeling that cannot be described,
Can't even be fixed with pills my dr. prescribes.
So what do I do, where do I turn,
Alone so bad that it often burns.
Leaving scars that can't be taken away,
Maybe will make me stronger some day?
Why can't it be that our roots never leave?
Why do our loved ones have to go,
And why did God make it where it would hurt so?
This hole of loneliness is so big and wide,
That sometimes I cry so hard I cannot open my eyes.
Reaching out in the darkness and not knowing where,
Trying to fill the loneliness, sadness and despair.
Alone.
Everyone who promised they would be there,
Grief has taken their hearts as well and this we cannot share.

The beauty of it all is that there are small things,
Small things like my butterfly wings.
They are brilliant with colors of variety,
For me to share with the world, not just to keep for me.
So I will keep drifting,
Maybe I will land in a tree,
Perhaps make a friend with a bumble bee..
Or maybe an inchworm,
That might work, Or a walking stick that can carry on a conversation,
That might fill my Alone sensation.
Til that time comes, I will drift along.
Singing my All Alone song.
Wishing and Praying for the day to come,
That I find my prince and we go to our Kingdom.

A great emotional poem, I really like the last line (your prince in the Kingdom) I think that its Jesus Christ) . He is the healer.
