Poem Commentary

... this poem was written by me when I was depressed, alone, and suicidal... enjoy

Save Me

I stand alone
always so alone
in my thoughts, in my head,
in my world that's so distant from where you are.

I threw up walls
of thick, impenetrable stone
to protect me from a world
that was too cruel, too dark, too hard.

But the world seems brighter now
as I peep over the walls
yet I'm still held prisonner here
and I gaze from afar.

As people live unafraid,
unashamed, unblamed
and fall in love
and stare at stars.

I wish I could be one of them
they seem as happy as I pretend to be.
I wish someone could just reach out
and save me.

Gosh, this moved me deeply. It is rare for poems to be both so self-pitying and beautiful simultaneously. Your pentameter is flawless. A truly, truly artistic piece.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
