....Okay, I am finally putting some of my things up here. Here goes nothing.


LONELY

Am I the only one?
The only one that feels pain, betrayal, hate?
Am I the only one hiding behind a smile?
The only one with a secret, a secret that is deadly?
Am I the only one in a crowded room?

Why am I so lonely when I have a companion?
Why am I so lonely when people want me near?
Why am I so lonely when some one wants to know my opinion?

I can scream out in a crowded room,
But who will hear my pain?
Who will come to my rescue?
Who will cradle me in a world that is so lonely?

Am I the only one?
Am I alone,
Or am I just lonely?
