Alone

There are days where emptiness over takes me

To make it through the day ignorance is key

I can stand in a room full of people and still feel alone

When times like this overtake me I just want to go home

I can't let the sadness control my day

But occasionally it does when things don't go my way

I have so much to offer and give

I wish I could be happy and begin to live

Until I find a way to deal with my issues

I will keep secreting going through tissues

No one knows the pain I deal with

If anyone asked I'd plead the fifth

These are my demons to overcome

I am always working not to succumb

I don't want to drown in my sorry

So I will try to look forward to tomorrow
