Almost Succeeding Poem by Michelle Tolly

Why do I feel so alone?
I’m a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.
I only feel pain.
I love the people that care,
But they just don’t understand me anymore.
I am becoming more and more depressed.
I don’t want to feel this pain and fury towards the world.
But I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel happy when I am a social outcast.
With nobody there for me that truly understands me.
I was happy and controlled.
Until I got my heart ripped out and my friends tried to kill themselves.
They almost succeeded.
They say that want death so badly,
But when they came close,
They figured out that there only afraid.
