Who needs this?

I share a corridor, dark and scary.
You point out words like dark and scary are common.
I scream that my state is not pleasant to verbalize.
You tell me to write about life lived happily ever after.
I rip open my wounds that can't  stay hidden.
You turn away, bored or disgusted, don't care to elaborate.
I'm reduced to taking  this journey alone, I beg.
You say, nobody reads this stuff.
I know hell is everyone's deep hole.
You quit talking to me.

  2. Ouch! I just ran naked down the hall, and the act alone scared me!
    I'm trying to be brave!

  3. hm,the reaction of the person in the scene with 'you' sounds familiar. . . :( sometimes it's good to have criticism, but when it's sould crushing, or hurts something beautiful inside you - then it's time to part ways.
