Alone Poem by Jane Allen
Alone
I feel so alone like I'm in isolation
Clutching at nothing in sheer desperation
Drowning in air..... i cant take a breath
Living this life just waiting for death
My eyes are open but I'm not awake
I'm real flesh and bones but feel so fake
My heart pumps blood to my veins
Yet i draw the blade i feel no pain
The liquid does run but it is dry
Is there anyway for me to die
I make my decisions but have no choice
I'm speaking out loud but no; one hears my voice
Ive never been smart but i have a brain
I know I'm normal but feel insane
Not always right but I'm never wrong
Overpowered by weakness to be strong
Surrounded by darkness with rays of sunshine
Always in single file but i step out of line
I am laughing but i want to weep
Because its time to get up, I'm away to sleep

A well-done work; perfect rhyme is not easy (may I suggest changing 'vein' to 'veins'. I believe today's end-rhyming standards allows this) . Just to take one stanza: 'Ive never been smart but i have a brain' -contradicted by the intelligence displayed by this poem's construction. 'I know I'm normal but feel insane' -this is what, I believe, most poets think and feel. So, it would seem you're on the right track (lol) . 'Not always right but I'm never wrong' -was the ambiguity in this line intentional or not? Either way, a piquant line. 'Overpowered by weakness to be strong' -very perceptive observation.
