Alone

Have you ever felt so alone 
Even though you’re surrounded by many friends?
You’re the glue that holds them all together,
Yet it feels like you’re an outcast in the end.

You’re the one they can confide in,
the one that keeps them going strong.
The shoulder that they can lean on,
that prevents them from falling down. 

And yet how ironic is this life, 
that even with all these friends around,
You’re the one left feeling alone.
Putting on a show just like a clown. 

You’re the one always checking up on them
as you sense when they are sad.
Reminding them you’re always here
And life ain’t all that bad. 

Yet no one ever notices,
when you’re feeling really down.
No one’s there to check up on you
to change that frown around.

No one knows that deep inside
you’re slowly falling apart.
While secretly wishing 
someone will notice your bleeding heart. 

Been strong is difficult sometimes,
You have to pick yourself up on your own.
Your battle scars are hidden
And very rarely shown. 

Have you ever felt so alone 
Even though you’re surrounded by many friends
Have you ever felt like you dont fit in
time and time again…
