Poem Commentary

... this poem was written by me when I was depressed, alone, and suicidal... enjoy

Save Me

I stand alone
always so alone
in my thoughts, in my head,
in my world that's so distant from where you are.

I threw up walls
of thick, impenetrable stone
to protect me from a world
that was too cruel, too dark, too hard.

But the world seems brighter now
as I peep over the walls
yet I'm still held prisonner here
and I gaze from afar.

As people live unafraid,
unashamed, unblamed
and fall in love
and stare at stars.

I wish I could be one of them
they seem as happy as I pretend to be.
I wish someone could just reach out
and save me.

Gosh, this moved me deeply. It is rare for poems to be both so self-pitying and beautiful simultaneously. Your pentameter is flawless. A truly, truly artistic piece.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
