Who Am I?

Who Am I
I'm empty inside
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I need an escape
To be all alone
Far far away from all that I know
Afraid of the dark, afraid of the light
Afraid of the day, afraid of the night
Don't get too close
I'll push you away
Don't understand the words that I say
I'm sinking and drowning
I can't stay afloat
Gasping for air, grasping for hope
Afraid of the ocean, afraid of the shore
Afraid of the ceiling, afraid of the floor
I look to the left and look to the right
I look in the mirror
I'm high as a kite
And finally it's clear
And finally I see
I know who I am, but I'm running from me

very nice

It reminds me of a girl I know and love,she seems to run from herself and her feelings...very well written and flows nicely,great job!

Excellent poem

I agree with Rick, this is very well written and does flow very well, an interesting look at drug addiction.

You can only run for so

You can only run for so long, right? I feel this...
