Alone
Do you ever feel
That you were better off alone?
Like, just entirely seal
Everyone away and you live alone?
'Cause in a group you call your own
If you begin to feel alone
And all the calls through the phone,
Fake smiles and words, to hate, You've grown,
They begin to sicken you to your bone.
Family, relatives, friends,
Are they all worthwhile?
Or just phasic trends
We have for a while?
They love to guide and lead
And give you words of advice to heed
All in pretext of a 'good deed'
But term your wishes as mere greed
And consider you like a filthy weed.
Because you are but a stain
To their perfect reputation,
Drowning you in misery and pain
Not seeing your trepidation.
And so, from a gem that once shone,
You realise now you're undeserving and torn,
And all the sins you had ever borne,
Haunt you and make you forlorn,
While you remain in the darkness, alone.
