I sit alone while he's already found someone to talk to
In a room full of my family
Here I am alone
Are they really my family
If someone I don't know
Can tell whats going on
And they don't
I feel less alone in a room by myself
Than I do in a room full of faces I'm supposed to know
How does he do it?
He just walks over to a person and starts conversing
I'm shaking at the thought
My mind is distraught
They call me over to sit
I try to keep it secret
But my emotion is written on my face
I don't know what to say
When they ask me what's wrong
I tell them not to worry
Keeping my walls strong
As the person I now know
Exits through the door
I feel the walls tumbling down
Taking me with them
They once again ask me if I'm ok
My voice quakes
As my body shakes
I make a break
For the bathroom
My lungs fail
My vision impaired
Through the tears I see someone who isnt me starring back at me
Where have I gone?
What happened to me?
I used to be just
Like
Him
