solitude

sometimes, the only person you have is yourself.

i see the people around me,

struggling to put the pieces of their life together

while mine lay in shards on the floor.

i notice the parts i cannot obtain,

realizing the confusion in my sorrows.

will i always feel alone in a crowded room?

will i never find the words to express my soul?

searching for answers, i ponder their meaning.

do my despairs define me?

is there anyone who knows a heart like mine?

alone in this, i find myself dreaming.

i've created the world around me

as if impossible to change.

i will get through this, i won't give up.

but for what reason?

what's left to hold on to

when there's no one around but me?

reality fading like a bad memory,

why must i always be dreaming?

i just want to wake up.

will i always be alone?
