Burning Bridges By Bryan Maki

Walking down this road
Alone as Can Be
My life is bestowed
By the burning flames of reality

On this Dark night
I seem to rage
When nothing goes right
Even though I'm only on the second page

I turn away all of my loved ones
to protect myself
from getting hurt by that someone

It's easier this way so no one gets hurt
But now I'm all alone
and sometimes I wish I weren't

It's all over now everyone is gone
I'm here by myself
and now nothing can go wrong

Aw...this is so sad, sometimes we feel if we block everyone else out that we will be OK, but often times we feel lonely and afraid. Great poem.
