Do 
you know 

what 
it's like

to 
feel 
abandon(?)

 It's 
like

you're here,
but
not here -

Your life
is
a twilight zone.

You're alway's 
unsure
and 
insecure -

Thinking
that 

you're on 
the 
outside,

where 
all curtains,

to 
the inside 

are 
drawn -

it's 
like,

your  
mental state
is 
gone,

and
there's
no way home -

You're 
guarded,

even
to the one's

that
love you
most -

Trust
and
loyalty

goes out
the 
window -

You feel 
hopeless,

inside 
yourself......

Inside

where
no one 

can
find you -

You say
that's 

where 
you
feel safe,

Inside 
your own
mind.

And
everyday

you 
walk around
in 
silence,

feeling empty;
alone -

separated 
from family -
 
separated 
from faith -

Do you know 
what 
it's like

to be
 invisible(?)
