is this what it feels like
to be absolutely alone
in a room full of people?
that pang of jealousy
that invades my veins
when i see happy people
casually strolling down the street
that pang of desire
to have what they have
to be able to hold someone's hand as i walk
to feel like i belong
the feeling of no self-worth
is to need what they have
but to know that i don't
and will never
deserve it.
don't deserve to feel like i belong
don't deserve to be happy
don't deserve what they have
what i deserve
is to feel alone
in a room full of people
because i will never deserve
anything more.
