Feeling alone doesn't mean there is no one with you. It's about feeling like you could scream all your thoughts and yet no one will hear you.
Where you sit in a room of friends but your left out of the conversation and sit there quietly waiting to be asked to join.
To be sick and have no one to take care you even though you have family all around.
When your at school and there is so many people that can help you and yet you sit with your hand up the entire time feeling invisible.
Being alone isn't always about 'being alone' it's about feeling like no one is there to make you feel safe and included and loved when you are surrounded by everyone.
