Lonely

What is the meaning of being lonely?

Why do I feel this way?

I have everything I need - or so they say.

They say that I am just crazy.

That I need therapy.

Why should I tell anyone how I feel?

They'll never understand or ever feel the same.

We are all different, and that means everything.

Being alone is no walk in the park.

All I can see are shadows.

I don't want to feel this way so I think I should pray.

I want to look at my best friend and tell her that she's wrong.

Wrong for not seeing how badly this hurts.

Does he mean so much to you, in so few days?

And ignoring the person who is there for you the most.

How about my family, I thought you said you cared.

So looking at my tear-stained you can't see pain?

Or is silence the best treatment that you can give.

Of course I'm not saying a word.

I just want to see if you notice.

If you don't I understand, I'm not that important.

So what should I say now?

That this loneliness doesn't phase me?

Or should I say that I am dying, and let the world know,

That on the outside I am lying with a smile,

and on the inside I'm shattered, crying and dying?
