i've noticed.
even when i'm with my friends.
(i don't feel like i should call them that)
even when i'm in a crowd of people.
i've noticed.

i never feel like i belong.
i never feel like i fit in.
i always feel like an outcast.
i always feel so alone.

i've noticed.
when everyone is laughing,
when everyone is having a good time,
i've noticed.

it's like i'm not really there.
it's like i don't really exist.
it's like i'm floating in an endless void.

i don't know why i feel like this.
i don't know why things are like this.
all i know is that everyday,
i've noticed.
i've noticed.
oh, how i've noticed.
