I cry my tears in the solatude of my empty life,
I feel a shame that should not be,
I have no reason for this guilt within me yet I punish myself and the ones I love to please it,
I tell myself that I must be strong and retain the screen protecting my loanliness of mind,
I beleave I have no ability to achieve nore am I able to glow in my home made darkness,
Great pain yet no self damage have I done visually,
I cry inside when once I used to laugh aloud,
I have no joy where once I had abundance,
I have no reason or true understanding of how or why I hurt yet I know I do and some,
I thank you all for your words and in them some light has come upon me,
I know I must be strong and ask the ones I love to understand to help remove my fear.
It has helped to put a few feelings into words and the long road seems shorter already.
