I Am So Alone Poem by Reshma Ramesh

I Am So Alone

Rating: 3.4


I am so alone
So alone so alone
Outside my window
I hear voices
Down the stairway
I hear noises
No one can hear me
Can't anyone help me
I am screaming
I want to die
I got feelers
No concealers
I am drained
Dead as ever
Cold and numb
I have to cut
Open my skin
Watch my blood
Warm and ardent
Running thin
Fleeing from
The blue veins
Soaking my skin
Now I know
I am extant
Breathing
Beating
Somewhere
Alive.

This piece is stark and bold and raw. The short line stanzas give a good staccato rhythm to the work and simulate the fast breathing rate of your narrator. Your message that even in the depths of despair there is a cry for life, is powerful indeed. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

in truth blood letting was an art during the middle ages using cups to relieve the pressure, and leeches were used for medicinal purposes, the ancient greeks went to see tragic plays by the masters who induced catharsis which is a purging of the soul and body, but i suggest that good music is a better cure the simple cry for empathy and company is heard in your poem 10
