Lonely

I sit here to ponder,
What it would be
If I wasn't so silent
When people walk all over me

They'd probably get on better
Knowing all my thoughts
And understanding me
That is what I thought

And now I sit here
Silent once again
Noticing my insecurity
Right inside my head

I know why I'm so sad
So lonely most days
My eyes are so clear
But my mind is such a maze.
