I feel like I’m facing
this world on my own.
I’m surrounded by people,
yet I’m still all alone.
I have more than some,
but what I want will never be mine.
Another year older,
and I’m running out of time.
There’s a hole in my heart
where my life should be.
I spend every night
wandering aimlessly.
I’m so tired of searching
for somewhere to be.
The world is a lock,
and I can’t find the key.
I can’t build a foundation
on a mound of shifting sand.
I can’t be accepted in a
world that doesn’t understand.
