Courtney Dyer Poet Free verse

On My Own

So alone inside
Tears in my soul
For I am so far away
From everyone
I feel so numb inside
Lifeless as a corpse
Superficial smiles
Imitating life around me
A spectacular performance
You haven't seen the real me 
And you never will

Suspicion arises
Scrutinizing every word
That is spoken to me
Not able to discern
A friend from a foe
Wishing I was invisible
But, needing the adoration
That these heartless vultures 
Shower on me
So addicting 
Like a drug
And so deadly
To my soul
Reminding me again
That I am on my own
Without a friend in the world
