Not Alone, but Lonely

Life. What is life?

It's all pointless when you're going to die.

Don't you ever wish it to just end?

Dark and depressing

Surprised?

No one really knows me.

If they did, they would see that I was really different

That I was another person

Two different faces and two sides

Which fools everybody's eyes

Nobody understands me.

However, I couldn't get away from them.

I needed them as I craved for attention

Along with the fear of ending up an outcast

Though, to feel the pain, the sorrow, knowing you were really fake.

It hurt you inside, knowing that you, yourself stood for everything against imposters.

To be trapped in a world you hate

Though not wanting to be alone and abandoned, you keep up your act.

Unbearable

Trying so hard and not so hard to fit it.

Arguing with yourself, driving you insane.

Torture.

Though you still continue to keep up an appearance for your reputation.

Crying to be recognized and respected

You ask yourself, all for what?

To not be alone.

However, in the end, you realize that you weren't alone, but lonely.
