Alive, Alone.
Am I alone?
Sometimes I feel as if I am
Sitting in a classroom full of other people
And yet I feel insolated
One hard look from someone
makes me blush and look away in guilt
whispering, silently praying
"sorry"
though sorry for what?
i still dont understand
for me it seems to be a crime
to be human, to be alive
it makes me numb, cold, alone
even inside my own mind
Pay attention
To myself I scold
and yet the words go right through my head, hollow
Empty echos call out lyrics
Words right from a girl
Who sings now to the world
Im still alive
im still here
im not invisible
They try to give me medication
to help me, to fix me, but im not broken
those are just lies
they dont understand
i dont need their medication
i have a few scars
on my soul, on my heart, on my skin
but that doesnt make me sick
it just makes me different
and yet i walk
hiding behind my bangs
feeling like a ghost
still wondering
am i alive?
