Feeling Alone
Feeling alone,
Made mistake of trying
to reach out to advocate,
Was told that she did not care,
I was just needing someone to listen,
Someone to be there,
I am on deployment,
Stuck on a huge ship,
Out in the middle of the ocean,
Feeling alone, depressed,
There is no one to talk to,
No one that cares,
I need to talk to someone,
But I will not talk to a male about
What happened to me
at technical school.
The Chain of command
does not care
And retaliates against me
The trained advocates
that are supposed to
Care do not care.
I learned to never
reach out and I
Will never reach out
to advocates again.
Sometimes need someone to be there,
Just want a trained advocate to listen,
To be a friend and just be there
Do not want them to do anything,
Just want them to listen,
To be a shoulder to cry on.
