how must i mask the loneliness i harbour
or mask the sadness and jealousy i experience
how do i mask the confusion i constantly have
or mask the anxiety i face day to day
everyday i walk the streets thinking i dont belong
with any group im with i just feel wrong
but why must i feel this way with people i adore?
why must fitting in be such a chore
why cant i find someone like me
someone that understands and can see,
how hard it is to operate in a society so different from your heart
someone who wonders how long love can truly last
its not that i dont have friends
i have many and appreciate them greatly
but when it comes down to it in the end
do i have friends who actually appreciate me?
i try to fit in with the standards
i try to make people like me
and many do or act like they do
but not fully if u know what i mean
im liked and joked with
but im not invited to hangouts
im liked and joked with
but im not in their groupchats
im liked and joked with
but im not in their posts like all their other friends
im liked and joked with
but am i liked?
am i joked with?
social lives are difficult things to handle
too much emotion may light a candle
this candle will grow and spread
and the intimidating flames may mess with your head
burnt out and tired is what you will be
but dont mask it
to express is to be free.
