It is written about being lonely, everyone knows that feeling at some stage.
when you are all alone
in a roomful of people?
When no one talks to you
yet the room is alive with chatter.
To sit and dwell in your own thoughts,
where your mind is your only friend.
To see everyone,
yet they don't see you.
They turn their backs to you
their ears shut to your screaming
as you try to escape,
try to make yourself heard.
You have run out of things
to say to yourself.
Does no one see the anguish in your eyes,
notice the pain eating at your heart?
You feel as you slip away,
away into yourself.
When your eyes are blank,
you can't scream anymore,
your heart has left you
and you are nothing but a shell,
only then does the room turn to you
and wonder what has happened
to make you like this.

do you know how it feels
Do you know how it feels,when you are all alone
in a roomful of people?
When no one talks to you
yet the room is alive with chatter.
To sit and dwell in your own thoughts,
where your mind is your only friend.
To see everyone,
yet they don't see you.
They turn their backs to you
their ears shut to your screaming
as you try to escape,
try to make yourself heard.
You have run out of things
to say to yourself.
Does no one see the anguish in your eyes,
notice the pain eating at your heart?
You feel as you slip away,
away into yourself.
When your eyes are blank,
you can't scream anymore,
your heart has left you
and you are nothing but a shell,
only then does the room turn to you
and wonder what has happened
to make you like this.
