Why am i

Why do I feel so alone with so many people around,
Everyday a smile on my face inside it's upside down,
I cry inside everyday but haven't shed a tear in years,
People say I always look happy my life's not what it appears
Everyone lives two different lives,ones public the others at home 
Cuz after their day and they step in their home the mask they wore is now gone
You never know what somebody feels or what they're going through
The only way to truly know them is if they live with you
be careful who you let in your life and who is in your space
dont hurry up like its a race you might end up in last place 
people talk about love at first sight they think there love is true
but once they get to know them more they ask what did i do
you let them move in to dwell at your house and to share your room, 
now that he has taken your heart you ask him to be your groom
lonely people sometimes make choices that later they regret
so pace yourself,one step at a time,dont treat life like its a bet
