Alone

Alone

Surrounded by familiar faces
And yet I stand alone
The shrouded one in a sea of light
Locked away in the shadows
As the world moves around me
Unable to reach out
To grasp some sort of comfort
Simply left to wonder why
How did I become the outcast?
The one so hopelessly lost?
Left to wander on my own
Searching for a way to go on
Tossed aside, forgotten by the world
Standing on my own two feet
Fighting to move forward
Through this maze of hopeless fears
Loneliness my only friend
Driving me on toward tomorrow
Learning to rely on no one
To live without a home
I am all that I have ever had
And yet the silence frightens me
Closing in, suffocating me
Drowning in my solitude
I drift away, lost forever more...
