Words I Cannot Say

The Curtain

I'm surrounded by people everyday
Yet I always feel alone
No matter how hard I try to connect
It's as though a veil has been thrown over my heart
No one has been able to tear it down

Im always hiding behind the curtain
Just watching as people pass by
I often wonder if I should stop them
Meet new people
I let the curtains protect me

I see the world but is so far away
I hear what's being said but don't understand it
I was all alone when I fell
Far into the darkness
