Surrounded
by people,
though I
feel so alone.
I join in
a conversation,
yet I
stand on my own.
Why does
this happen?
Why do I
feel this way?
Seems no
matter what.
I just
can't break away.
A smile on
my face,
my sadness
to hide.
I laugh
out loud,
yet I'm
crying inside.
I'm trying
so hard,
to make it
all go away,
but the
feeling of loneliness,
just wants
to stay.
Here's
hoping tomorrow will be a much better day.
