When Are You Really On Your Own? Poem by Laurore Jean Pierre

Are you on your own when you turn18 and
Going to college or when you feel
like you are at the edge about to fall
And there’s no one there to catch you?
Are you on your own when you are the one
paying the bills or when everything
seems like a hill unable to clime?
Are you on your own when out there facing the
cruel world alone or when you are in a crowd
But feels lonely and depressed?
When are you on your own?
Is it when life gives up on you or when
you give up on life?
Are you on your own when you lost contacts
With family and friends or when
You see you no longer have a shoulder to cry on?
Are you on your own now?
When will you really be on your own?
