Best Poems Written by Scott Ortiz

alone

feeling alone is the outside looking in
at the crowd filled with self-doubt you don't fit in
hurting so bad your heart easily tares apart tissue thin 
trying to get over it jump man above the rim

being alone you either get stronger or break
become more vulnerable or skin forms thick as a milkshake  fighting to float from drowning  your tears deep as a lake self reflection is a horror nightmare keeping you awake 

no shoulder to lean on or cry 
your whole self existence you start to question why
because the truth can hurt more than a lie
and the truth might be alone you die
