Alone and Wandering Out Loud

as i wandered into the crowd 
i wondered if i'll ever survive
letting my thoughts out loud
feeling neither dead or alive
but empty as a hollow tree
not moving but rooted in the same place
everyone with their fake smiles pretending to be me
people with split personalites and two-faced
the world is blind to what others can see
alone in the thoughts of my mind
wandering like a lost soul
everyone's too busy to look inside themselves and find 
trying to meet society's silly and pathetic goals
wishing to be warm and loved
and away from society's cold stone hearts
wanting what is beautiful and ripping everything else apart
many things gone wrong from what society can't finish what they start
too superior and arrogant is why society today is so proud 
as i go alone and wandering out loud
