Alone

a poem by Tiffany Morton

I have enough friends to last me a lifetime
I have a boyfriend who’s always by my side
I have a mother and father who love me and a place to sleep at night
But yet I feel alone like no one can help me
I feel hurt and ashamed
I feel abused and neglected
I don’t know why I feel this way
I feel like the walls are closing in on me, and the more and more I try I can’t breathe
Everywhere I go I have a smile on my face, so no one knows the pain I hide deep inside
I laugh like everything’s alright
But there’s hurt in my heart
A burning in my soul
I feel like I’m left in the dark with no one to hold
I’m really feeling like I’m all alone
