Sometimes, you need someone.
Someone who will hold you while you cry, and won't leave you alone.
Someone who will tell you that everything will get better and that you'll make it through.
Sometimes, you need someone.
Someone who can make you laugh when you're upset
Someone who can make you forget about the world, and take you to another universe, even if only for a little while.
Yes, sometimes you need someone who will make you feel happy when you're sad
Someone who won't yell at you because you made a stupid mistake
But sometimes,
All you need
Is to be
Alone.

The author's comments:
I never thought that it would be me writing poetry. I am the type of person who writes long stories that never end. This particular poem means a great deal to me, because it expresses reality. Sometimes, you do need someone to help you get through something rough that has happened, but also, sometimes you just need to be left alone. To sort through everything that you have gone through without interruptions. That is why I wrote this poem.
