“Alone”


At times, it’s hard to look
Up to a world that once took
Everything
That was inside me.

The people play their games,
They show no love or no shame;
I can’t escape
When no one likes me.

I do not want this place,
Just give me one thing at least:
Someone
To be right here beside me.

You’ll never know
What it takes to be alone.
