I was alone

For so long

It was my own

Fault.


I was scared

To make a friend

I was scared

To let them in. 


I was alone,

And scared ‘cause,

I had been hurt

By the buzz


Of voices in

School hallways.

I’d been broken down,

Until I lay…. 


Broken,

Defeated

Cursed

And Beaten


I did not stand strong.

I did not fight.

I did cry.

And I wasn’t always in the right.


But I made it through.

I put it in the past.

Even if I didn’t want to,

I at least did that….


You have been alone 

For so long.

It’s your own

Fault


You are scared

To make a friend

You are scared

To let them in. 


You are alone

And scared cause…

Well… I don’t know why,

But I will put that on pause. 


Until you’re a friend,

I will not let you be.

I will help you,

By being me.


For I was scared

For I was hurt

For I was wrong

For I was cursed


For I regret

For I bemoan

For I was hurt

But I was sewn


Back together

Bone by bone.

For I was…


Alone
