One By One The Yard Gnomes Steal My Sanity

I feel so alone

Sometimes it feels as if I

Could come undone

But it only just begun.

Crying, screaming eventually bleeding

Running, hiding but no one is seeking

Tripping, falling I here someone calling.

I get up to look who it is

Bleeding, crying, no one is smiling

I ask what’s wrong, he said I don’t belong.

I don’t belong, but how can that be

Was happy, smiling, running but not crying

It always felt as if I was flying.

But someone came along, said she didn’t belong

He chipped at her soul inch by inch

Grabbing, taking eventually said he was faking

Pulling, tugging but no one was helping

She got up one last time, sick of crying

Not ever smiling, no way that her soul was dying.

He looked at her and said “you dare to look at me”

“How can I if I have nothing more to bare”

Her soul was damaged, but not yet broken

Her heart cold, cracked, but not yet frozen.

She looked at him, eyes swollen

She knew no one would be calling

And said its too bad as I stand here alone

I’m suppose to be undone, shameless, sad,

Never but always glad.

How can I be alone

When you said I don’t belong.
