There i stand with hundreds of people by my side

Yet why do i feel they would all leave in the blink of an eye

There so called dedication and love feels superficial

Every person in my life is a temporary situation

 

I feel like everyday im walking on chipping ice

Each step i take it cracks and cracks away

Every wrong word i say, or move i make

Brings them one step closer to leaving me astray 


Even the people who are supposed to love me most

My mom my dad i feel like they see me as nothing but a joke

No one in this world makes me feel secure 

No matter how hard i try i feel as if i could do more


The funny thing is, the external me floods with friends

I can go to the mall to the movies, out till the night ends

I always thought this was what a happy life entailed 

But still i feel like i am very underwhelmed


Maybe someday i will be able to feel loved

But until then everyday i wonder if i should just give up

This poem is about feeling alone, and how the feeling of loneliness still lingers even when surrounded by a lot of people
