Alone
Start writing here…Here I am again
On this cold, cold night
Left alone
Stuck in this hole of fright
With very little light this night
I have very, very little strength to keep up this fight
No one seems to understand
No one seems to care
About how I can’t seem to let someone in for long;
Before it all just collapses in
I can’t speak, I can’t hear
Is this truly what lies beneath the spear
Alone is how we’re born
Alone is how we die
Absolutely no one else
Feels this kind of pain inside
Okay so I’m here within this crowd
But does that make me one with them?
No, I’m still here, in the darkness
Being swallowed up little by little
I don’t like assumptions
They’re just a lie
Is that how I’m supposed to live?
Afraid of what’s outside?
How can anyone truly feel my pain
How can anyone really know
I know I’m not the only one
I can’t be the first to think so
What lies above the clouds is light
And what sits beneath the tree is shade
I am under the tree
Each and everyday
Sorry, there’s not room enough for two
This tree doesn’t hold space for you
I cant go now, out of the shade
I don’t want to accept the invitation to life’s cruel game
You’re not from here
You wouldn’t understand
If I stepped out now
I’d turn to sand
There’s plenty of room for those like me,
But the shadow beneath this tree
Well, it doesn’t seem to wanna let me leave
I can’t apologize
You wouldn’t hear the sound
No one can
Once you’re underground
So I sit beneath this tree, all alone
I have no one, so I can’t go home
