I Am Alone Poem by Taylor Mai

At 2am,
I am alone.

Breathing uncontrollably with the thoughts leaving scars across my memory,
And the awful pit in the bottom of my stomach growing like a tumour,
I am alone.

When I cry, I cry because I can’t feel anything; I'm numb,
But that only makes me realise further,
I am alone.

Silent screams array through the night like the stars,
Nothing in my head is telling me to sleep,
It’s just working away killing my innocent sole,
And at 2am when all this is happening,
I am alone.
