Only Hope Poem by Brian Ely

I scream on the inside
To silence the pain
I've screamed as loud as i can
It's been in vain

So here i am
Curled in a corner
Imagined me on a date with the coroner
The pain is killing me
Somebody help me
Or i scream
Help me find what it all means
We can't be floating lost
A leaky ship
Battered and tossed

I scream on the inside for a rescue
To end the reign
I hope with all hope
That it again won't be in vain

Here i am
I am who i am
Keep your priceless gems
I just need to be myself
An us with no them

Here i am
I said
Here i am
Ready to be your friend
