You don't know what it's like
No, of course you don't
The loneliness is there
Day in and day out, it's there
But do you ever think about me
I don't believe you ever have
You see, I'm the quiet one in the back of the class
The girl who thrives off of silence and loneliness
No, I don't
I live with it
I deal with it
Because I have to
Not because I want to
I sit and listen to the conversations that go on around me
And you have no idea how badly I truly long to be that way too
I long to be a social kind of person
But no matter how hard I try...
I'm never changing who I am
You probably think I'm just an abnormal
That there's something going on inside that makes me mental
That I have some sort of issue that can be healed with meds
Well, I'm sorry for being who I am
But there's honestly nothing wrong
My form of social comes in the form of writing
Through my poems and lyrics and novels
I may be silent but words don't fail me through writing
I may not be your kind of social
But read any number of things so have written
And you will understand what it means to be me
I'm the silent one,
The lonely one
But am I alright with loneliness
No, of course not
It's terrifying to be lonely
Especially when you have a mouth that shuts
But a brain that never quiets
It leaves too much room for thinking about how pathetic and lonely my life really is
It leaves too much room to think about all the shot in my life
It leaves too much time to depress myself
I may be the silent girl
But loneliness is. NOT. FUN!
You don't know what it's like, though...
Do you?
No, of course you don't
The loneliness is there
Day in and day out
But do you ever think about me...
No...?...
I didn't think so
