Alone and Cripple

I'm merely man
I'm merely me
I'm merely broken
Beyond repair

Bleeding
Cracked
Burning
Beyond saving

Falling and dying
Into nothing
Into disgrace
Into myself

Won't someone listen?
Doesn't anyone care?
No, they've left
I am wandering nowhere

They are deaf to my cries
Blind to my fake smiles
Mute to speak comfort.
Yet I am paralyzed

I want to be ok
Set everything right
But now it's too late
When is refuge arriving?

Someone tell me
Hear me, hold me
Someone punish me
I'm always wrong now

I love the last stanza in this poem, which makes me like the whole poem. I mostly love that stanza because of the irony, of course.
