Only I Poem by Kevin Martinez

Only I
Will walk alone
Into the shadows
On My Own
Sometimes I managed to keep up
but like some, I've fallen too deep
to find a way out

Only I
Will take what's shown
Away from me
So I can see, become blind
and wander hopelessly
I will fade away
In the dark
By myself
with this beating spark
known as my hope
it lessens
as I move farther
It grows
when my pulse beats faster
when I'm with those who matter

Only I
Am to blame, Now I'm
Left with despair
Within my heart
I will walk alone
On my own
Out in the open
Into the Unknown
where I'm nothing
without all of you
Life is meaningless and dull
when it's
Only me,
Only I

For the ones who matter...
