Just Me

Sometimes I wish I had someone who�d turn to�
Someone who�d cry, and whine, and trust and believe in�
Someone who never needed to be told they just knew
How I felt from the beginning�

Me.
No one can reach what I want them to be.
Me.
No one will ever be able to set that all free,
No one but�
Me.

Sometimes I guess it�d be easier to just give up like the others
Throw myself on the floor and say how it�s not alright and it�s not fair.
Sometimes I know it�d be easier for me to just suck it up and lean on another
And not always depend upon my own strength to get me through the cold stares.

But even the strongest strength is fragile sometimes
And cowers during a hurricane.
But that fragile strength is all I know and it�s mine
And I know I�ll be okay.

Me.
No one will ever be able to pick me up when I fall to my knees.
Me.
And no matter how hard I try I can�t be anyone I wanna be�
Not anyone else but�
Me...
Just Me...

I have seen even the strongest man I know crumble to his knees, there is nothing wrong with an occasional bit of weakness. ^ ^

Thank you for the feedback, and the compliment! <3

A sad yet insightful poem into loneliness and depression.

"But even the strongest strength is fragile sometimes"

So true.

I find it best to remember that even if I am lonely, I am not alone, and while people the people I love might let me down when I need them sometimes, it doesn't mean they don't love me with all they have. No one is perfect, and I know I've let down people too when they needed me.

I've often been scared to rely on people, and yet so often it is my friends (my good friends) that lift me from the pits of despair, and all I have to do is show up.
