Alone

Alone

Alone because
I was scared of being alone
Alone because I am scared of being hurt
Alone because it is too much effort to pretend
Alone because no one understands me
Alone because sometimes I choose to be alone
Alone because people are arseholes
Alone trapped inside my mind
Alone observing the world
Alone watching happy people surrounded by love and laughter
I would not care if I had always been alone and had not known any different
If I'd have known this this time last year I'd have held on tight to all I had and not let go
