I am unwanted
Except by family
But it’s not enough
For me

I see everyone happy
So I fake it
Walking around happy too
But in those long
Hours of sleep
And before sleep
The loneliness
And sadness
Creeps into my brain
It takes over
Till I cry myself to sleep

I don’t feel wanted
Even by friends
I’m the ghost in the corner
Watching but not being seen
Sadness emanates from me
But still no one sees me

Oh why can’t I
Be wanted by someone special
Am I hoping against hope?
Should I break down
And just cry
Or die
Since no one seems
To say stay
I want you
