Maybe I Just Need a Piece of Cake

I felt lonely today and I don’t know why

But I knew that all the pain I felt was enough to make me cry

Am I just an empty husk with nothing left to give?

Or have I barely sprouted, a seed that needs to live?

I truly care about others, and want to see them thrive

But do they feel the same for me? 

Other than my family, I have no sense of certainty

But even then, I don’t think they’ll be there

If I ever reach there

The only thing I know I have is myself

Me, myself and I

Nothing more, nothing less

Than another average guy

I’m close with so many and I truly know them well

But then I have my doubts, and they can all just go to hell

I’m scared of the world and I don’t know if I can be out there alone

I know I’m supposed to think that it’ll be okay, that I’ll always have someone

That it’ll all work out

Friends who aren’t what they seem, family who doesn’t provide enough comfort

God

Is there anything I can do?

Is there any way I can move past my worries and be happy with what I am?

Who I am?

Happy that I will always have me but is me enough?

That I don’t need to be with others to feel like I am something?

That I don’t need to feel like a burden

A loser

An afterthought

Or worst of all, not even a thought

A reason

A reason the question “Who?” is asked

Who’s that? 

Never heard of it

It

No

I can’t give up

You can never give up

Be a light and shine on bright

No matter what you can do it

It

I felt lonely today and I don’t know why

But all I know I can do to figure it out is to try
