I am sorry.

I am alone.
Trapped within
You all talk
I never hear

I am scared.
Terrified of myself
All the damage
I’ve yet to cause.

I hear him.
I hear you
Telling me to do well
Against my own nature.

I’ve failed you.
It’s too late for me
Just when I start to cry
I wake up.

such an interesting poem, really made me think
I particularly liked:

I am scared.
Terrified of myself
All the damage
I’ve yet to cause.

So honest
