Alone

There are days where emptiness over takes me

To make it through the day ignorance is key

I can stand in a room full of people and still feel alone

When times like this overtake me I just want to go home

I can’t let the sadness control my day

But occasionally it does when things don’t go my way

I have so much to offer and give

I wish I could be happy and begin to live

Until I find a way to deal with my issues

I will keep secreting going through tissues

No one knows the pain I deal with

If anyone asked I’d plead the fifth

These are my demons to overcome

I am always working not to succumb

I don’t want to drown in my sorry

So I will try to look forward to tomorrow

I really feel this one. Its not uncommon to stand in a room full of people and just feel as though you're the black sheep. The way I made myself look from a different perspective is that I took a moment to realize that by feeling like I'm the odd one out, I'm lumping all of the people in that room into one single category. I was generalizing them without really knowing them. I'm not saying you can be friends with everyone and quite frankly most people will bore you or rub you the wrong way but, making the effort to peel back the layers will benefit everyone more in the end.
