Lonely

I'm feeling lonely, like nobody is around.
when I get close to someone, they leave without a sound.
I know this can't last forever,
but I always have my doubts.
It seems like no one ever hears,
any of my screams or shouts.
Maybe its just that no one cares,
what I'm screaming about.
This feeling has always been there,
but not until now,
have I felt the full effect, where,
ending this feeling, is my vow.
Suicide is pointless,
cutting is painful,
the only way to fix this,
is to be faithful.
For I know God loves me,
I know he does.
Only God can heal me,
with his beautiful doves.

sounds a bit like teen suicide, Andie Jean

remember we talked about "victims" in chat? Maybe the vow to ending this could be re-written so it's clear it is a vow to affirming yourself and changing your situation. Or is it about suicide? cant should be can't cheers, Jess

My Chemical Romance in the background and then end it with the beginning to Amazing Grace.

Personally, I think that

Personally, I think that this was really good. I agree with Jess a little bit about the ending. But in a way I also get what you meant at the end.
