Behind the smile

Fake friends

I'm walking down a path in this dark place.

And the demons' screams fill my head.

All of my feelings for everyone are gone.

Because no one is supposed to stay.

And everyone turned out to be a fraud.

I hear these voices calling my name.

But I don't believe any of them.

I'm afraid of getting played; like the same old game.

I'm aware that I'm alone and that no one is with me.

Is this how my entire life will be?

I have people I consider to be friends;

But how many of them will stick around until the end?

All I wanted was a real friend.

To have my back and be with me

Just one hug, that's what I plead

Just one person who cares is all I need.
