Are You All Alone Tonight? Poem by Matthew Densley

Are you all alone tonight?
So alone that you could weep?
Do you hug your pillows tight?
Will you cry yourself to sleep?

Is there life inside your dreams?
Do you wake into despair?
Head filled with the sound of screams?
Trapped inside your own nightmare?

Does the morning seem to creep?
Will the sunrise cause a fright?
Are the riches yours to reap?
Is the future yours to write?

When awake are you aware?
Are things what they really seem?
Are smiles something you can bare?
Have you got the self esteem?

Does the pride in you run deep?
Made to feel part of the team?
Is it some thing you can keep?
Ever followed through your scheme?

Does the fire in you ignite?
When you catch their icy stare?
Do you humble at their spite?
Do you even really care?

Do you take it to extremes?
Is the price you pay too steep?
Are these just your daily themes?
Does life really seem so cheap?

Morning brings more wear and tear
Another battle left to fight
Will you face it? Do you dare?
Will you be alone tonight?
