Thoughts in the shadows

My thoughts are in the shadows
I've never felt so alone
Although my brain agrees I'm not
My heart feels I'm solo
I cry my heart out
Whipe a tear
To my surprise,
There's nothing here
No tear to my cheek
No crying at night
My emotions are so empty I can't think right
I sit alone all day,
Even when my friends don't want me to stay
Stay all alone, alone with my thoughts
The thoughts in the shadows more often than not
Screams of self doubt, silent screams of pain
Fill the silence in my brain
I try to stop if, but I simply cannot
Mostly because I think a lot
But a little turns to too much, and too much turns to pain,
My thoughts are in the shadows and my feelings in the rain
When you talk too much, you lose your voice
It's human nature, not by choice
So when you think too much, emotions become numb
After that, you will succumb.
Succumb into darkness, pain, and fear
The fear that people won't care you aren't here
These are my thoughts,
My thoughts in the shadows.
The thoughts I keep low,
The thoughts I wish would go.
Thoughts in the shadows,
They're still here.
