They say people don't hurt the same
And I wish that wasn't true
Because going through this alone
Is something I'm not sure I can do.

Nick, both this poem and the previous one evoke a fear of being alone an unable to cope. Many of us have there. In my case I felt the need to be distracted. I found this in a young guy who is autistic, mentally retarded (learning difficulties) and with very bad eye sight. He is 19 years old. I befriended him and gave him an I Pod. His family are very poor. I help him with reading and writing and how to use the I Pod. He loves every minute. He has taken me out of myself. He has helped me more than I could ever help him. The last two lines of this poem is something you can do but not necessarily alone. Someone out there needs you. Find them. Sit with them and compose poetry together. Give them the benefit of yoursef and your talents. Keith Keep writing
