Sometimes you have a whole world
And then it disappears
You can’t see it anymore
What used to be assuring
Now comes back to haunt me
Feeling so unneeded,
So easy to look over
Like I shouldn’t be here
I have no idea what I’m doing
Just blankly standing there
Alone on a long, long road
The seems to have no end
I thought this feeling wouldn’t return
But I was wrong.
It seems almost worse than ever
Will this numbness leave?
Can I fight this once again?
I can’t give up-
To give up would mean to die
And I want to love my life
But what is there to love
When there is only you?

I think this is an excellent poem. To me it seems that you took all of your feelings out and laid them on the paper. And i totally understand how the name of the poem connects to it. You named it "One" because you are the only one. Theres no one else but you. You feel like the only person you have is yourself. Correct? .......Check me out.!!

This is really good... Your a good writer. This poem seems so real. I know some people who probably feel like this a lot. So anyway, keep up the good work. =]

Aw, very sad! Great poem, though. Just one suggestion: Can you add similies, metaphors, or other poetic elements to enhance the melancholy feeling? The first stanza is my favorite! Your language is very strong and powerful, which is good. I'm sorry you were in a down. :-( I hope you're feeling better!!!
