Empty, Alone, Clarity

I'm thinking about a million things
I know sometimes it's good to clear my mind of it all
I never knew what loving was
Until I opened my heart and gave myself a hug
Maybe I could search for hours
Listening for the answers to sound
Wishing life was a bit different now
Hoping it will appear at my door
Knowing well, it starts at my core
Well I was sitting in an empty lot
Thinking to myself, why am I alone here right now
Then I took a moment in my place
I looked with a sharp eye, spotting many alone as I was too
Because I can observe deeper
View those who are so unaware
See things I didn't know of existing
Maybe I feel so alone right now
But really, I'm alone with them all
And soon after, I now understand
I may feel so alone, but I'm lonely with the others, nonetheless
So Maybe loneliness starts inside
A society convinced of the need for attention and presentation
You know I could search for hours
Listening for the answers to sound
Wishing life was a bit different now
Hoping they'll appear at my door
Knowing well, it starts in my core
I don't do well by anybody's side
I would rather trust in myself than believe in their lies
I'm not pristine at keeping friends
In fact I'm a mess when it comes to bonding at all
Because I'm not alike the most
And I'm not easily understood
But I hold the knowledge within
I carry a heavy understanding
I'm shown less effort than I put in
