‘Alone’ (Lyrical Poem)

Woke up in that hospital bed.
Something in my brain dead.
And I think there’s nothing I can do.
What did I do?
I put an ocean between I and you.

And I know it’s hard now.
I know we’re so far now.
And how could this really be so?
But it’s going be okay though.
Because I care, so…

Why is it that the only thing that helps me is to hold this hurt in my heart?
I ruin things every time I get a new start.
It’s like an art, and I’m the sick, sick artist, I’m the smartest, no I’m the greatest, I swear to God, yes, I made this.
Who cares?
Who cares?

I do, and I swear it on all that is good and true.
When I’m kind, when I’m scared, when my minds unprepared but I charge through, that’s when I find myself in a bright light beside you.
Because I can see what’s true, even if you can’t too.

Mohammed Ali.
I shook up the world!
Even when the pain hurls stone after stone.
Children. Lovers.
They calm my nerves.
In my heart.
In my spirit.
Even if only God can hear it.
I will fight, not with might but with song.

And I can’t say it’ll last long.
But I can promise you I’ll be strong.
Because in my mind I’m never really alone.
