Alone Within Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-ALONE WITHIN-

Behind blank eyes-a world
alone,
The silent state, where quiet
drones.

I know you're there-you can't
come in,
This is my private place
within.

Here, I am, safe from all
strife,
That this world offers me
in life.

The things around me-so
unreal,
Can't hurt me now- I
cannot feel.

Alone within-No strife
about.
Please come-reach in and
pull me out! ! !
