I'm Alone


I’m alone

Stuck in a room, in my home

With multiple residents residing

Yet they seem far

 

I’m alone

Love I receive, yet ignore

Out of the equation

The selfish equation

 

I’m alone

The pain I’ve received

The torture endured

Is not fit for love

 

I’m alone

Alone with the fear

The fear of hurting those close

Which I’ve done before

 

I’m alone

The mask I put on

Loved ones face

Face the fake self

 

I’m alone

With the one I love

With no mask, nothing to hide

Just myself
