If Only...

I know I should be happy,
but I am sad.
I should be proud,
but I am ashamed. 

I went to see everyone,
I hold dear,
and was afraid to talk.
Trying to get close,
but felt like repealed back.

That circle I hate,
when there is no spot for me.
Why do I coke up.
Does people see me?
Or am I hiding myself,
in this mist of doubt,
and sorrow.

Want to be a part,
but never really learned,
to be a part.
Always alone on those Saturdays,
watching everyone else,
have their fun day.

Guess I'm so used
to be alone.
That when some people come,
I move myself away.

I am disgusted about myself,
of my actions today,
and me, myself couldn't bring,
you guys to my home.

If only I could be there,
in that circle.
If only I could be part,
of something big.
If only I could be,
loved.
If only I could be,
Myself.
If only...

I feel that even down here, not being use to people. But you just have to find, and be comfortable being who you are and you'll find people that like you for it.
