Them
December 12, 2016
They always ask why I am alone
They always ask me why I am in a zone
They always ask why I don't speak
But little do they see, they don't try to seek
They ask the questions not truly caring
They don't see the scars that to me has married
But these scars are old
And I am now a completely different mold
For they do not really care
Care as to how I am, or if what they say is fair
Just because they are blood does not mean I want to be around them
For their lives are something over I like to skim
Over the years, more and more
I've learned what being alone was for
You say you've never been alone
unwatched, untouched, completely alone to all that is known
I have been alone a great many number of times
Sometimes it really breaks at your lines
Lines of sanity
Lines of morality
It drives you insane bit by bit
Making you think your entire life has gone to shit
No, my family has never cared
And I have never wished for them to care
For they continue to bring me down
They have dug my grave in the ground
I wish to lie alone at night
I wish for no light
And that to be all there is to life
I am not sure if I wish to be a wife
Or a mother
I am not sure if I even want to be a lover
I have learned the art of being alone
To keep my face like a stone
To keep the emotions buried
To always keep my sadness carried
I have learned to be strong
If that is what you call the way I have been for so long
Being alone is all I know
I apologize if I put on a show
I am sorry if I pull away
Just know that you don't have to stay
I am aware of the trouble that I am
I understand if you think that this is a scam
Some lie that I made
But just know that it is okay
If from my life you want to fade.
