You & I


You are lonely

deep inside

Surrounded by people

Pretending

To be alive


Do you want to be

Just like them?

Hiding it all

Behind a grin

Wouldn’t that wear

Just a little bit thin?


You are tired

of the emptiness you feel

Wishing life

Weren’t so real

Trying to numb things

With a simple pill


You are wondering

How i know

No.

I promise it doesn’t show

So no worries there

No need to go


I am lonely

Every second

Of my life

Lost among those

Pretending to thrive


I do not want

To be like the rest

Hiding myself

Behind a nice dress


But too many days now

I think about maybe

Giving in.

As the emptiness

Wears ever so thin


Thinking about taking

That little pill

To make life

Not so hard

So real


Don’t you see?

I am a bit like you

Held together with wishes

And glue

So next time you feel

That you are adrift at sea

Please take a moment

And remember

Me.
