You're Alone

"You're alone," the voice whispers in my head;
it echoes during the day and through the night.
There is no escape from it
and I can no longer see the light.

"You're alone," the voice repeats itself.
"Yes, I know," I whimper back.
Overcome with fear and sadness;
my smile has been painted black.

"You're alone," it snarls at me,
laughing at my agonizing pain.
Now I'm lying on the battle ground,
by depression's hand I've been slain.

"You're alone!" the voice begins to scream.
"I know, I know!!!" I yell and finally break.
I cover my head with my hands and cry out,
"This is more than I can take!!!"

"You're alone!!!" it shrieks and laughs at me.
"Go away please," I say through tears,
"Don't you think I already know?"
By now I'm being pulled down by all my fears.

"You're alone," the voice turns to a whisper.
I finally open my tear filled eyes.
"I'm alone..." I say, knowing I've been talking to myself.
So I lay there crying, now believing what I once called lies.
