Am I to be touched but never caressed? Am I to be kept close but never let in? Am I to be a burden to all and solution to none? Am I doomed? Cursed? An empty wound? I hold this pain in my hands When I try to release, it burrows deeper I fear my future I fear the loss I will face Inevitably, my love will be lost within the muck I just wish to rest my head Nestled between the wings of my nonexistent mother I crave a past that has never graced me Am I to be lost to time? Am I to be found alone? Am I to remain terrified of life itself? Am I?

Am I?

I am so lost and scared. I am trying to hold onto the hope that I will find a way out of this hole. It is getting so dark down here :(
