Dear You, Who Feels Alone by walking shadow poetry.

I see you there, struggling in the dark,
Feeling like life has lost its spark.
I know the thoughts, I’ve been there too,
Wondering if anyone would care if you’re through.

It starts so quiet, a whisper in your head,
Telling you maybe you’d be better off dead.
You try to shake it, pretend you’re fine,
But it grows louder, like a ticking line.

You smile at people, but inside you cry,
Hoping that no one will ask you why.
You think of leaving, just disappearing,
Because all the pain is too hard, too searing.

But let me tell you this, from someone who’s been,
Down that road, feeling trapped within
You are more than this moment, more than this pain,
There’s a future for you, even in the rain.

I once thought it would be easier to quit,
That no one would notice if I didn’t exist.
But I was wrong, so very wrong,
And I’m still here, still going strong.

I talked to a friend, shared my tears,
And though I was scared, they didn’t disappear.
They held my hand, they didn’t judge,
And little by little, I started to emerge.

I found help, I learned to heal,
To believe that my life was still real.
I learned that feelings don’t last forever,
That bad days come, but so do better ones, clever.

You don’t have to fight this all by yourself,
Please don’t hide your pain on a shelf.
Talk to someone, share the load,
There’s no shame in walking a heavy road.

You matter more than you know right now,
And I promise, one day, you’ll figure out how
To see the light, to feel the sun,
To know that your life is worth being won.

So hold on, even if it’s just for today,
Reach out to someone, find a way.
There’s hope ahead, I swear it’s true—
And the world is better with you.
