Why must I feel so alone?

No matter if I'm surrounded by people

Who love me, or completely hate me

It wont change that I feel just as alone inside

Because nobody knows who I am behind the person that pretend to be.


Nothing hurts more than having to go through life

Being a stranger to one's I used to know so well

I'm always alone, I'm alone when I wake up. I'm alone when I go to sleep.

I'm alone because all I do is hide.


I barely feel like a person anymore

It's like everything I'm doing is an attempt to push down the truth

It's like no matter how much I try to forget myself

I never do.

"I've be lost for as long as I can remember" I told myself.

Maybe because I have everything I need but nothing at the same time

Despite the emptiness, despite the hurt.

It's become a part of me.

Something I've grown to hate.

One more thing to add to the list

Of why I'm so fake.


I still return to everything I do

A good distraction if you will.

But you should know I'm human too.

One with a heart one with a soul

So why must I feel so alone?
