Alone In The Dark Poem by Jason Hedrick

Alone in the dark, my knees to my chest.
Hiding in the corner, maybe for the best.
Rocking back and forth, thoughts racing through my head.
Who knew this is the way, my life would be instead.
Mistakes that I made, are catching up to me.
Nobody has a clue, what it is that they see.
They look as if I’m human, which is what they see outside.
Nobody sees the empty soul, where all the demons hide.
They look in my eyes, and everyone turns away.
I am the one that all will fear, and no one wants to stay.
So this is why I sit alone, by myself in the dark.
Then no one has to fear, what used to be my heart.
