Who cares/Lonely


Everyone around but no one listens

Full House on but no one watches

Standing alone in the midst of divisions

He yearns for others touches

 

He stares at a glowing screen

Until sleep can over take him

He's been like this since he was thirteen

His chances are looking slim

 

His grades are slipping slowly

He tries and tries but can't escape

His mood drops, he's feeling lowly

self confidence as small as a grape

 

He falls faster and faster into a downward spiral

Sitting in the corner alone he remains idle
