Nobody
I live my life in the darkSurrounding myself with nothing
But yet I feel so crowded
Nobody knows the real me
What thoughts roam around inside my head
I keep me locked away in a closet
Like a winter jacket on a hot summer day
Shoved all the way in the back
Of a dark empty room with nothing
But black plain walls
I am invisible to the eyes around me
I scream to break the silence
I hold my breath
It feels like I'm being strangled
All I hear is miles of laughter
Complete strangers sounding happy
I cover my ears
To try and block the sounds
They only seem to get louder
I can't control them
I plead with the strangers to stop
But they don't hear me
So I sit there
Rocking back and forth
Eventually everything just ends
The people fade away
Now I am left alone
With myself and my own twisted thoughts
