Lonely

by Just a Shadow   Apr 16, 2012


In this world, I am alone. All alone.
I may have friends, families. But I am still alone.
There is no one I can talk to.
No one I can open up to.
No one I can truly call friend.
From childhood to now, I am alone.
School, even life, I faced alone.
No one was there.
No one answered my call.
I stayed in the shadow...
slowly consumed by the dark.
I kept everything inside,
and only fake happiness is out.
Are people that naive,
or is it just that I am too good at pretending?
Why can't anyone see my loneliness and sadness inside?
I am afraid...
afraid to show myself to the world.
I don't want to handle the expectations,
the way people look at me,
and the standards.
I really want to escape all that.
Find a place so I am free
Free to do anything,
be anything without disappointments.
No fear of letting someone down.
No fear of people judging you.
No fear of expectations.
I pretend I don't try,
to give myself an excuse for failure.
In this world for me,
failure is not an option.
The pressure that is on me.
Parents think I can handle it.
Friends think it's nothing for me.
Everyone is too busy
To see that I am scared and fragile.
I am scared.
I am left to face this world alone.
No one to help.
No one to keep me company.
No one to share to.
I only have loneliness.
Alone with only my shadows by my side.
I am alone. All alone...
